James Turrell Skyspaces, Arizona
Turrell Skyspace
Knight Rise, 2001
It is a personal goal of mine to see as many James Turrell Skyspaces before I leave this Earth. As with any collection, it starts small, but it has to start. I am fortunate to live on the West Coast which is home to 12 of his installations although a few of them are in private collections (one I’ve had the privilege of experiencing). Before arriving in Arizona I checked my Turrell Skyspace list to make note of any destinations and managed to visit 2 of the 3, the third is Roden Crater which is not complete nor open to my understanding.

Engaging with art in nature is something I am deeply passionate about. If you find yourself in Arizona please stop by these free public installations and relax. Unplug and take in the beauty of the Earth.
