Light and Turrell

A very good article about the use of light and perception in the works of  artist James Turrell. The piece traces his works from early single room experiments to the monumental earthworks of his sensory observatory Roden Crater.

"The scent organ was playing a delightfully refreshing Capriccio - rippling arpeggios of thyme and lavender, of rosemary, basil, myrtle and tarragon; a series of daring modulations through the spice keys into ambergris; and a slow return through ambergris, camphor, cedar and new-mown hay (with occasional subtle touches of discord - a whiff of kidney pudding, the faintest suspicion of pig dung) back to the simple aromatics with which the piece began."
