Phillip K. Smith III, an American artist based in Indio (CA), has played with light in the installation that has brought an old farm shack in the California High Desert back to life. Lucid Stead – the name of the installation – consists of wooden boards, mirrors and panes of glass that simulate doors and windows: in the daytime they reflect the surrounding scenery, at night they emanate colored light. An oasis of repose that buoys the spirit in the arid landscape of Southern California.
