Response to James Turrell

Since I saw the Art21 on James Turrell a year or so ago, he has become one of my favorite contemporary artists.  I love this quote from him “I want to create an atmosphere that can be consciously plumbed with seeing, like the wordless thought that comes from looking in a fire.”  His work is so great because I think he's really challenging what we see as art in a way.  His ideas are just terrific, and I love how spiritual his work really is, meditative is a word he likes to use in talking about it.
