The evolution of Robert Irwin's art...
In Irwin's book, "Seeing Is Forgetting the Name of the Thing One Sees", you see how his thought process took him from exploring 2d work into using light and space as his key elements...
This biography from the Archives of AskART:
Devoting most of his career to probing the ambiguity of space and light through the use of scrim, the semi-transparent fabric often used in set design, Robert Irwin began his career in California.
He was based in San Diego, and his early abstract canvases, straight lines or dots of color, placed to exercise the viewer's perceptions of space, seemed an attempt to bring inside the white light of Southern California. Then he began adding fluorescent fixtures to the middle of his installations, and these circular discs addressed his frustration with conventional painting which seemed confined within rectangles.

Reflections on Tuesday night's Power Point presentations...
There were elements in everyone's presentations that spurred my creative imagination... I must explore sound with moving images...
I spent a few hours at the Exploratorium yesterday... So many of the exhibits I spent time with could be metaphors for human behavior. For instance, one of them demonstrated how unpredictable and chaotic the movement or direction the pendulum is, as a result of how sensitive it is to the starting condition, or the way its been set into motion by the participant.
I know I'm going to return with a recording device to capture the patterns, visual effects and sounds of many of the exhibits... ~ carol s.f.
