Knight Rise

 



While I was at the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art, I took the opportunity to visit James Turrell's sculpture called Knight Rise.    

It can only be accessed through the museum even though it's on the outside.  Guests follow the little partially enclosed walkway I've pictured to the left to get to it.














Once there, I stepped into the circular space, sat down and enjoyed the view of the sky through the opening above.  The sky was look a bit 'lacy' on this day.

Knight Rise is one of many Skyspaces that Turrell has created all over the world.

I could sit there and watch the changes in the sky. The lacy effect is very pretty in your photo.
