James Turrell

James Turrell is an earth artist who seems like he focuses much on earth and space with his artwork.
This is called "Into the Light", made out of neon lights, glass, gypsum board, and plaster. I viewed this as the artist's interpretation of "seeing the light at the end of the tunnel". The neon lights put a different flavor on the artwork, making it seem almost as if you're in space, maybe you're hitting lightspeed like in the Star Wars movies or whatever but it does give a very good sense of tunnel vision and I think that is what Turrell was at least trying to partially portray.
