James Turrell


James Turrell's work involves the interaction of light and space. I thought that James Turrell's Roden Crater was an interesting concept; a means for a human to feel one with the entire atmosphere. A person can go inside the crater and view the sky from an elliptical shaped opening in the ceiling, allowing the veiwer only to see a minimal amount of space outside of the crater. A brilliant concept, indeed, although I think it would hardly be worth the "two mariages and one relationship" Turrell claims it costed him.
