Turrell: Light and Spirituality

James Turrell is a American artist who works with huge projections of light, color, and astronomical spaces - at the scale of entire craters. At a lecture, I heard him describe himself as a painter - and I was convinced. Mis-catergorized I think as a conceptualist or minimalist, he is intensely interested in light, space, and color, and their intersection with spirituality.

I am dying to see Roden Crater, but that's a bit difficult to arrange. Turrell reminds me: go big, or go home.
