Interesting image. Can you identify it and discuss it? I like the purple colors; they remind me of the work of James Turrell, who has done some amazing things with color and light. But the squiggles on the walls don't move me much.

These images don't really give the real feeling of being before a work by Turrell (who is one of many great contemporary artists that I haven't had a chance to discuss yet). I saw one of his works at the Whitney in NYC. It looked like a colored wall, but you could put your hand through it, and then it was all light and presence. It was quite a (non-sectarian) spiritual experience. He is now working on a crater in the southwest: Roden Crater.
