Faceted Disc Variant #4
2018
This circular wall-mounted sculpture from Phillip K. Smith III's acclaimed 'Faceted Discs (Light and Shadow Works)' series explores the interplay of geometric forms, light, and perception. The work features subtle faceted planes in white and off-white tones that create dimensional depth through shifting shadows and highlights. Smith's minimalist approach transforms a simple circular form into a dynamic study of spatial relationships and optical phenomena.

James Turrell
American · b. 1943
Turrell is a central figure in the Light and Space movement and creates works that manipulate perception through subtle gradations of light and shadow, much like Smith's faceted disc explores optical phenomena through shifting illumination on geometric surfaces.
Peter Alexander
American · b. 1939
Alexander's Light and Space sculptures in cast resin and fiberglass share Smith's monochromatic sensibility and preoccupation with how light interacts with carefully crafted surfaces to produce depth and dimensional illusion.
Mary Corse
American · b. 1945
Corse creates white monochromatic works with subtly textured surfaces that shift in response to ambient light, producing the same kind of quiet optical dynamism and geometric minimalism found in Smith's faceted disc series.
