Visible Light: Artist Alexander Harding Reveals Dense Rays of Sunlight Pouring through Windows
Connecticut-based artist Alexander Harding created an ongoing series of photographs titled Visible Light that explores light as a primary subject. His photos reveal dense, ethereal rays of sunshine as it passes through windows, bounces off mirrors, and skews through glass objects, where the light beams are so thick it seems like you could cut it with a knife. Harding says he is inspired in part by artist James Turrell, known for his exceptionally large light installations, and who once stated, “light is not so much something that reveals, as it is itself the revelation.”
