About this work

This print shows a dark background with a single bright, tilted square floating near the top. The square casts a faint shadow below it, stretching downward like a beam of light. The edges of the square are sharp, and the rest of the image is nearly all black. The simplicity makes you focus on how the light and shadow play off each other. This is one print from a set of 20 made by the artist. Next, look up James Turrell to see how he uses light in his work.
