art and time


James Turrell
is a American artist who is highly involved and obsessed with Light and experimentation of light in his works.
"I want to create an atmosphere that can be consciously plumbed and seeing, like the wordless thought that can come when looking in fire"

He Harnesses the light and embeds emotion and feeling into the light and work.

he has been known to "bring Heaven down to earth"

i relate him to art and time because his art in a duration where you have to be present in the works for a certain amount of time before actually realising what is happening and going on.

after your eyes have adjusted to the light in the room (where his works are) you are then able to start seeing the work and images and forms appear out of the "mist" of the light.
