From the museum: "Lozenge–Variant 1" will be on display in the intimate Gerald and Inez Grant Parker Community Gallery, allowing visitors to focus on this singular artwork without their attention being drawn by any adjacent works. The gradually alternating colors will produce a meditative and deliberate experience in the darkened gallery, with seating available for visitors to take their time in the space. About the artist: American artist Phillip K. Smith III (b. Calif., 1972) uses light as a medium to create optically shifting sculptures and site-specific installations. His minimal but imposing interventions into vast outdoor landscapes and more discretely scaled sculptures are nuanced perceptual encounters in response to the unique conditions of site and context. Expansive and living, Smith’s boundary dissolving sculptures use mirrors and LED technology to alter the interplay of light, color, and surface in an expanded field, proposing shifts in experiential pace to modify the viewer's physical encounter. Trained as an artist and an architect at Rhode Island School of Design, Smith incorporates the site-specificity of architecture, with its reliance on scale, and its capacity to physically impact the human interaction it supports, to create immersive viewing experiences. The Lightworks originated when Smith created Aperture during his artist residency in 2010 at the Palm Springs Art Museum. Learn more here.
