I wanted the light to be the revelation. It has to do with what we value. I want people to treasure light.
James TurrellMy work is about your seeing. There is a rich tradition in painting of work about light, but it is not light -- it is the record of seeing. My material is light, and it is responsive to your seeing.
James TurrellWith no object no image and no focus, what are you looking at? You are looking at you looking.
James TurrellIโm interested that light has thingness itself, so itโs not something that reveals something about other things youโre looking at, but it becomes a revelation in itself.
