Introduction

Twilight Epiphany is a Skyspace by artist James Turrell on the Rice University campus, opened in 2012. Visitors sit on the grass or concrete seating and watch the sky through a square aperture during the 'colored moments' as light changes; a free 40-minute light sequence plays each day around sunrise and sunset.
