"For the last 40 years, on the edge of Arizona’s Painted Desert, James Turrell has been on a mission to capture the heavens on Earth with his magnum opus, Roden Crater. In 1977, Turrell acquired this two-mile-wide extinct volcano near Flagstaff, the city he calls home, and since then has been excavating tons of earth to carve viewing chambers and tunnels—transforming a volcanic cinder cone into a naked-eye observatory full of his signature light and space installations."
