James Turrell at the Mattress Factory
With an appointment to view Pleiades, I turned a corner, followed a ramp into a completely dark room, and stumbled into one of two chair with 15 minutes to try to see the work. Try, because it was so dark that my eyes felt plugged, as if they were stuffed with cotton. I moved my hands in front of my face. Nothing. Only an engulfing blackness that my mind made out to be the size of a large amphitheater. Darkness and patience slowly gave way to an amorphous glow in the middle distance, the intangible made visible, but just barely.
