ON THE COVER
Phillip K. Smith III (page 14) is known for his massive artworks made with mirrors and brightly colored LEDs, but early in his 20-year exploration of light and shadow, the Palm Desert-based artist created this series of Cylinders with wooden stakes. See how they all tie together in Phillip K. Smith III: Light + Change, a mid-career survey of the Smith's work, through May 7, 2023, at Palm Springs Art Museum.
