Notes from James Turrell book "A life in light"

Light is everywhere. Existance is immpossible without it. For this reason, perhaps, light appears over and over again as a symbol in the world's greatest poems, paintings and novels.

But light is perhaps best unterstood outside a moral framework- as pure force, as a pouring source, as the absolute essence of biological life on this planet earth.

Light is physical. It arrives. We see it. Our eye decodes its presence and sends information to our brain. We may see it differently one from another and we may see the same light differently one day from another. Yet light is matter and its matter that defines our very existance.
