'
A miracle (what else can you call it):
The sun rose today at three fourteen am and will set tonight at one past eight.'
from a poem by Vislava Szymborska.
The terms art and object are virtally synonymous, yet artists working with light essentially produce no object. Light and dark sunlight and shadow, time and space sound and silence, fire smoke, scrim and string, glass, screens, walls are the materials. See Jan Butterfield ' The art of light+space' ISBN 1-55859-272-5
Several visual artists working with light did fundamental work: Robert Irwin, James Turrell, Maria Nordman, Douglas Wheeler, Bruce Nauman, Eric Orr, Larry Bell, DeWain Valentine, Susan Kaiser Vogel, Hap Tivey, Melinda Wortz, Ronald Onorato, Peter Plagens, Kenneth Baker, Judith Gor, Jan van Munster, Peter Struycken. I owe them beautiful experiences.
