On view at MoMA PS1. I went for the first time a few weeks ago and this piece stunned me. The simplicity! Genius. Makes you consider the world around you differently by altering it in the most subtle way - a frame. Could have sat watching the sky change all day. Sounds low lift, but I don’t think the impact can be fully explained without seeing it. It’s worth a visit.
portion of his Twilight Epiphany at Rice U If you don’t know Turrell he uses natural and artificial light to play with perception of space and color and his outdoor skyscapes are sick public observatories/installations that bring you into communication with the sky
Even if you have other creative pursuits that require your brain to work, it’s fun to have one that requires very little thought or attention. I started crocheting a couple years ago and it’s perfect while sitting in front of the TV or listening to a podcast or just zoning out. Makes me feel productive even as my brain melts out my ears, and makes me feel creative even when I’m not doing any cooler, more challenging projects that require more of my energy.
