Purely speculative, oblique, misc. observation re TRPs work

[Mark Kohut]

The words below come from an article about an exhibit of this guy's art,
which has been focussed on, inspired by, seemingly fully nuanced about
light, using light itself (not as painters always say, pictures embodying
the uses of light) since the 60s. I had never heard of him. (can send the
article if wanted but can be found with a google search I'm sure).

Anyway, We know TRP uses the light-darkness trope thematically and deeply.
(It recently struck me that light-dark, as in the AtD epigraph, is also a
simple trope in "Dancing in the Dark", cited so unexpectedly in GR.)

So, with what we know of TRP's evident religiosity, and perhaps with AtD
thematically more outside--in the world; in nature-- than inside, one can
guess light might have some of the same autobiographical source as it does
for Mr. Turrell:

Just sayin'.

"Mr. Turrell, now 73 years old, traces his early appreciation of light in
part to being raised religiously as a Quaker.

“Going inside is what Quakers are known to do,” the artist said. “You go
inside in meditation. You go inside to the greet the light.”
