Nebraska? from Planetaria Obscura - August 2016 Issue
Having three different doors, offices, projectors, configurations, dome surfaces, chair groups, music systems, roof coverings. I thought of it romantically but practically - why did people stop in Nebraska when they could’ve continued on to Colorado during the great western expansion? Why did they go THAT far when Ohio was good enough. I think maybe we go as far as we can go with something until we convince ourselves this is far enough. Or we drop in exhaustion. This land will make a THE farm. Others keep going till they run out of land, some never left where they were born. Some change things over time and never settle. I just changed them till I couldn’t change them any more. And one day in Nebraska, I thought - this is far enough. It feels right. People love Nebraska. Some of them must. I now love my physical planetarium. I’m home here in Omaha. Or is this Lincoln? WHERE’S THE WALMART?? Oh ok. I felt lost there for a minute…. Home is where the stars are.
