|  My icons do not raise up the blessed savior in elaborate cathedrals. They are constructed concentrations celebrating barren rooms. They bring a limited light. | | A piece of wall can be visually disintegrated from the whole into a separate triangle by plunging a diagonal of light from edge to edge on the wall; that is, side to floor, for instance. | | One might not think of light as a matter of fact, but I do. And it is, as I said, as plain and open and direct an art as you will ever find. | | It is what it is, and it ain't nothin' else... Everything is clearly, openly, plainly delivered. | | Realizing this, I knew that the actual space of a room could be broken down and played with by planting illusions of real light (electric light) at crucial junctures in the room's composition. |
