I cannot help but review these incredible works of art by James Turrel. I'm in awe of this work. I cannot help myself but share all of this with you all.
"The sky always seems to be out there, away from us. I like to bring it down in close contact with us. sp you feel you are in it. We feel we are at the bottom of this ocean of air: we are actually on a planet." James Turrell
For over half a century, the American artist James Turrell has worked directly with light and space to create artworks that engage viewers with the limits and wonder of human perception. Turrell, an avid pilot who has logged over twelve thousand hours flying, considers the sky as his studio, material and canvas. New Yorker critic Calvin Tompkins writes, “His work is not about light, or a record of light; it is light — the physical presence of light made manifest in sensory form.”
