With no object no image and no focus, what are you looking at? You are looking at you looking.

To have a certain new eight-and-a-hal f-minute-old light from the sun-to feel it physically, almost as we taste things-this is where you can work with light like that.

It was important that people come to value light as we value gold, silver, paintings, objects.

I was maybe 5 or 6, and my grandmother would begin sitting me in the Quaker meeting house. I asked my grandmother, 'What am I supposed to do?' and she said, 'Just wait, we're going inside to greet the light.' I liked that—this idea to go inside to find that light within, literally as well as figuratively.

Remember technology does not make good work. You can still write a poem on a brown paper bag, and haiku is just as profound as the pyramids.

I'm known as a light artist. But rather than be someone who depicted light, or painted light in some way, I wanted to have the work be light.
