And the clowns are making fun of the whole ritual, you know. But that's part of the ritual. And I guess I kind of see myself in that vein, as sort of the clown in a way. I'm not debunking spirituality, I'm not making fun of it, I'm....well, yeah, I am. (LAUGHS) But the thing is that it's only because I think it's necessary. I mean, I think it's a part of spirituality." — John Feodorov

Shahzia Sikander, "The Scroll,“ 1991-1992 Vegetable color, dry pigment, watercolor, tea on hand-prepared Wasli paper, 13 1/8 x 63 7/8 inches. Courtesy the artist and Sikkema Jenkins & Co., New York "The scroll took a year to make...I was looking at many ways of departing from the conventional miniature in the context of what was happening the past couple of years in the miniature painting department at school. I was looking at Chinese scrolls and I was looking at other forms of eastern art which come out of this whole aesthetic, because they still deal with landscape and they still deal with issues of space." — Shahzia Sikander

Shahzia Sikander, "Perilous Order,“ 1994-1997 Vegetable color, dry pigment, watercolor, tea on hand-prepared Wasli paper, 10 1/2 x 8 inches Photo by Tom Powel. Courtesy Sikkema Jenkins & Co., New York "The early works were primarily drawn out of memory and were very different from miniatures— much looser, abstract, gestural. And then there was a desire to provide order, a structure to that. And that’s when I started experimenting with breaking the surfaces of these very precisely painted images. Everything would have its place, every little thing, and then I would go and break the borders. Images fall from within and to the borders, and there's Lots of drawing done on top." — Shahzia Sikander

Shahzia Sikander, "Fleshy Weapons" 1997 Shahzia Sikander, "Fleshy Weapons" 1997. Acrylic, dry pigment watercolor, tea wash on linen, 96 x 70 inches Photo by Tom Powel. Courtesy Sikkema Jenkins & Co., New York "I was looking at the idea of the goddess. And it didn’t matter how many hands it had, just the notion that it was the female body with several hands was important. A Hindu goddess has a very specific face, and here I was stripping off the face and taking away the identity that defines the goddess and putting the veil on top of it. So it was like playing with both aspects—not to underestimate what’s behind the veil, and at the same time taking away the physical violence of the facial expression and the particular sort of identities that come through the image of the goddess." — Shahzia Sikander

Shahzia Sikander, "Hood's Red Rider #2“ 1997 Vegetable color, dry pigment, watercolor, tea on hand-prepared Wasli paper, 10 1/8 x 7 1/8 inches. Photo by Tom Powel Courtesy Sikkema Jenkins & Co., New York "The structure was built around narrative. The narrative utilized language which might resemble miniature, but when you came and looked at it closely it had nothing to do with old paintings. There is nothing being copied or borrowed. It was all coming from my own sort of diary of developing forms and giving meaning to them, and meaning actually emerges by usage...For instance, with 'Hood’s Red Rider,' I did a series with children’s tales such as 'Little Red Riding Hood'..." — Shahzia Sikander

Photo by Tom Powel. Courtesy Sikkema Jenkins & Co., New York "Some of the things become clearer, especially in borders...I was looking at text which accompanies miniatures. The text exists because miniatures come out of manuscripts and book illustration. But here the text becomes more like horses or there’s the suggestion of movement, and that aspect is my experience of reading the Koran where I would read it with no particular understanding because I was a child. I could read Arabic, but I couldn’t understand it and the memory of it is this amazing visual memory where the beauty of the written word supersedes everything else."— Shahzia Sikander

"I mean it's a very traditional form, except it's convertible. The top opens, and it makes a sky space where sky is really brought down to you; your awareness of it is made quite different.

Courtesy the artist and Live Oak Friends "That was kind of the Meeting House I always wanted to see. I guess I like the literal quality, or feeling, or sensation, in that I want to feel light physically. We also have a big psychological relation to light. All or most spiritual experiences, near death experiences, are described with a vocabulary of light. This quality to feel light exists, almost like we see it in a dream." — James Turrell

James Turrell,“Hi Test," 1997 Mixed media, site-specific permanent installation at the Mondrian Hotel, West Hollywood, California Photo by Paula Goldman Courtesy the Mondrian Hotel "Color is this response to what we are perceiving. So there isn't something out there that we perceive; we are actually creating this vision, and we are responsible for it is something we're rather unaware of. So I actually like to do that, and I look at my art as being somewhere between the limits of perception of the creature that we are, that is—what we can actually perceive and not perceive, like the limits of hearing or seeing—and that of learned perception, or we could call prejudice perception. That's a situation where we have learned to perceive a certain way, but we're unaware of the fact that we learned it." — James Turrell  

James Turrell, "The Light Inside“ 1999 Electric lights, wires, metal and paint, site- specific permanent installation at The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Texas Courtesy Museum of Fine Arts, Houston "[The Quaker] George Fox talked about the light, both in a literal and a figurative sense, or allegorical sense. And a lot of it is the revelation, which is a light, as in a bright idea can light, but it always says this image of light, and so I was very interested in this literal look at it, actually greeting this light that you find in meditation, and following that. But, that's not its entire meaning, and I think that that's why I just express it that way. But it's certainly something that I've related to and like.” --James Turrell.

James Turrell, "The Light Inside“ 1999. Electric lights, wires, metal and paint, site- specific permanent installation at The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Texas Courtesy Museum of Fine Arts, Houston "It's something for a child to be introduced to the Meeting...this time when you are no longer in first day of school, but you actually come and join the Meeting. And my grandmother was trying to tell me what you did. So her explanation to me was you went inside to greet the light. And this idea, to go inside to find that light within, literally, as well as figuratively, was something that really propelled me at the time. I really thought that that's what I should Do...” --James Turrell

Photo by Dick Wiser Courtesy The Skystone Foundation and Barbara Gladstone Gallery, New York "This is really beautiful when the sun hits it in the afternoon because you really get the red and the black, that separation of the two craters from the west side. And it really stood out. The nice thing about it was that it was off by itself, so it didn't have other volcanoes that would be in the horizon when you were inside it....— James Turrell

James Turrell, "Roden Crater," East Portal Entryway, 2000. Roden Crater Project, Flagstaff, Arizona. Photo by Dick Wiser. Courtesy The Skystone Foundation and Barbara Gladstone Gallery, New York "I wanted to use the very fine qualities of light. First of all, moonlight. There's a space where you can see your shadow from the light of Venus alone—things like this. I also wanted to gather starlight that was from outside the planetary system, which would be from the sun or reflected off of the moon or a planet... you've got this older light that's away from the light even of our galaxy. So that is light that would be at least three and a half billion years old. So you're gathering light that's older than our solar system." — James Turrell
