Anthony McCall is one of my favourite artists his work is simple yet so effective, and I like the fact it's exhibited without too much pretence. Through lighting and smoke he creates strong boundaries - which are all to do with how you perceive space as there is nothing physical stopping you. Although when you cross these thresholds something feels strange.
When standing within these forms the effect when you look up is fantastic - I couldn't really capture it on film, it's more like a sensation. The way the smoke interacts with the light cuts at harsh angles yet feels so soft, and actually rather calming.
