James Turrell

So last week we read articles and discussed "artists as researchers" and of the two I found the article about James Turrell more inspiring as far as researching as an artist. My initial interest in his works was triggered by his use of light. Turrell is a man who looks much like Santa Clause. To look at him he could fit in with ancient philosophers.

His work often utilizes the manipulation of physical space and projection of light in the space. His installations are said to be a psychological experience.

I was very impressed with his work because of how dedicated he has to be in his research. His works are definately not created just for himself, but for the experience of others as well.
