This week I'm looking at an artist named James Turrell. He uses light as his medium and says: "'My work is more about your seeing than it is about my seeing, although it is a product of my seeing. I’m also interested in the sense of presence of space; that is space where you feel a presence, almost an entity — that physical feeling and power that space can give.'"

Basically, Turrell has been interested in light since he was a child, and likes to experiment with the idea of space while letting his audience decipher the meaning of his pieces. 

A weird side note is that apparently Drake had a very meaningful experience with Turrell's work and decided to rip him off by featuring it in his music video for "Hotline Bling". Turrell said he was "flattered" although he hadn't given Drake any permission to do this. At least the artist found humor in the whole situation
