Internationally acclaimed artist James Turrell made two presentations on Guilford Campus as Judith Weller Harvey Quaker Scholar.

Turrell spoke on "Plato's Cave and the Light from Without" March 24 at 7:30 p.m. at New Garden Friends Meeting and "Quakers in Art and the Light from Within" March 25 at 10 a.m. in the Guilford College Art Gallery in Hege Library.

Influenced by his Quaker faith, Turrell's art prompts greater self-awareness through a discipline of silent contemplation, patience, and meditation. He is developing a natural observatory in an ancient volcano.
