Site Plan: Roden Crater
James Turrell's *Site Plan: Roden Crater* presents a meticulous yet dreamlike rendering of his monumental earthwork project, combining photography with layers of wax, acrylic, and oil on translucent mylar and vellum. The work maps the artist's decades-long transformation of an extinct volcanic cinder cone in the Arizona desert into a naked-eye observatory attuned to celestial light and perception. The luminous, semi-transparent materials echo Turrell's lifelong preoccupation with light as a tangible, immersive medium.
