Alta Blue

James Turrell: Alta (Blue) [1]

At the time he made these, Turrell was not long out of university, where he studied experimental psychology. It was at this time he enrolled in art college, and began playing with light, which he projected into the corners of rooms to create floating cubes with the illusion of three-dimensionality.‘ [2]
