Unlike the more familiar equanox, the exact timing of the equalux varies according to an observer’s latitude and longitude. Nowhere is this phenomena more visible or impactful than in the desert, with its wide, clear skies. I was fortunate that one of these days happened to coincide with my springtime stay in Joshua Tree National Park as Artist-in-Residence.
After piecing together multiple photographs taken at hourly intervals througout this special day, the oversized image was printed on special metallic paper then surface mounted beneath Plexiglass to accentuate the mystical and luminous quality of changing desert light.
