" Generally, we use light to illuminate other things. I like the thingness, the materiality of light itself. So it feels like it’s occupying the space, making a plane, being something that was there, not just passing through. Because light is just passing through. I make these spaces that seem to arrest it for our perception. " - James Turrell

" It’s really terrific to see Pittsburgh recognize the Mattress Factory. " - James Turrell
