Neuroscientist-turned-artist Amanda Phingbodhipakkiya installed a new sculpture on the grounds of the Goldwell Open Air Museum in Rhyolite, just outside of Death Valley National Park, in February. According to an article in the Pahrump Valley Times, “Her new piece at Goldwell consists of nine 10×10-foot steel frames in a sort of Jacob’s ladder arrangement, painted pale blue on the outside and yellow on the inside.” You can learn more about Phingbodhipakkiya in Double Scoop’s article on her 2019 exhibition at UNLV’s Barrick Museum.
