response to James Turrell

I looked at the profile on James Turrell. He is a very interesting artist, the way he manipulates what we see by creating specific atmospheres based on light. I was reading about one of his pieces, and I found it interesting that he is expanding on light and its meaning. He mentioned moonlight and starlight and how those ideas of light have influenced some of his pieces. I also like how a lot of the work I saw seemed very minimal with the light and the atmosphere as the main focus. Art: 21 is really cool, too. It's nice to get to get a feel for working artists and their studios and their processes.
