    We Broke In: James Turrell Forgot Roden Crater Keys

    When James Turrell forgot the keys to his masterpiece, The Roden Crater, with 12 carloads of Quakers waiting, the group decided to 'break in' to gain access. This extraordinary event occurred during a visit organized for 'Quakers in the Arts' to the extinct volcanic crater, which Turrell has transformed into an incredible piece of land art. The day began with a visit to Turrell's ranch, followed by an arduous journey to the crater itself, culminating in the unexpected need to bypass the locked gate.
