“In thinking of light, if we can think about what it can do, and what it is, by thinking about itself, not about what we wanted it to do for other things, because again we've used light as people might be used, in the sense that we use it to light paintings. We use it to light so that we can read. We don't really pay much attention to the light itself. And so turning that and letting light and sound speak for itself is that you figure out these different relationships and rules.” PeopleIfsThinkingDifferentUseLightMightWantedUsedSpeakSoundCan DoPayAttentionFiguresPaintingDifferent Relationships Author:James Turrell
“The sky is no longer out there, but it is right on the edge of the space you are in. The sense of colour is generated inside you. If you then go outside you will see a different coloured sky. You colour the sky.” IfsDifferentLightSpaceSkyEdgesColour Author:James Turrell
“We think of color as a thing that we’re receiving. And if you go into one of the Skyspaces, you can see that it’s possible to change the color of the sky. Now, I obviously don’t change the color of the sky, but I changed the context of vision.” IfsThinkingVisionSkyChangedColorReceivingDon't Change Author:James Turrell
