“I wanted to use the very fine qualities of light. First of all, moonlight. There’s a space where you can see your shadow from the light of Venus alone- things like this. I also wanted to gather starlight that was from outside the planetary system, which would be from the sun or reflected off of the moon or a planet…you’ve got this older light that’s away from the light even of our galaxy. So that is light that would be at least three and a half billion years old. So you’re gathering light that’s older than our solar system.”
James Turrell’s Twilight Epiphany Skyspace is a breathtaking design that suspends time and space under the Texan sun. A magnificent 100 square foot grass berm topped with a 72 square foot floating canopy, the Rice University installation is equipped. with a complex arrangement of LED lights. These interact with the natural light present during sunrise and sunset, creating an awe-inspiring space for students and Houston residents to reflect on the sublime majesty of nature.
