I first learned about James Turrell On the PBS series ART 21. It was the episode was Spirituality. I was surprised at the reaction that I had to his work through the Television. Even without being in the spaces he has masterly created, I felt an atmospheric involvement. Turrell's use of light is captivating. Without the experience of being within the space of installation I find all his spaces to be especially ethereal. Focused on self awareness and meditation.
Turrell talks about the qualities of light in relation to life. In death, he explains, things are always explained in terms of the quality of the light. Bright, dark, white, black. His work focuses on those aspects of light. How it can alter perspective, allow you to look inward. Meditation is a large part of Turrells work.
