Located in the sculpture garden, at The National Gallery of Australia, is this incredible work of art. You can enter the work via a long sloping walkway, where you will find yourself inside the large square-based pyramid. Step inside the stupa to experience the viewing chamber.

"My work is about space and the light that inhabits it. It is about how you confront that space and plumb it with vision. It is about your seeing, like the wordless thought that comes from looking into fire." JAMES TURRELL

I knew little of this artwork before I visited. I immediately fell in love with the intimacy created within the pyramid and stupa.
