Lot Essay

‘In Roden Crater, I am working with a series of spaces that select light from different portions of the sky. The effects of this light will create certain “atmospheres” in the spaces inside the crater. These areas inside the crater will react to the light from the sky in certain ways during the day and then in other ways during the night. […] My light sources are limited to the sun and moon and starlight and, of course, reflections off materials like sand or snow or things that vary with the season.'

-James Turrell
