First Light
James Turrell's *First Light* is a complete set of 20 etchings and aquatints printed on Zerkall paper, showcasing the artist's lifelong fascination with the perception of light and space. Through the subtle layering of aquatint tones, Turrell conjures luminous, geometric forms that appear to glow from within, blurring the boundary between the physical surface of the print and pure illumination. The full margins of the Zerkall paper enhance the meditative quality of each composition, framing the radiant forms in a field of quiet, contemplative space.
