Nancy is an American Artist famous for her public sculptures, installations and land art. Sun Tunnels is located in the Great Basin Desert outside of the town of Lucin, Utah. Sun Tunnels is a product of Holt's interest in the variation of the intensity of the sun in the desert compared to the city. The work consists of four 18 foot by 9 diameter concrete tunnels which are arranged in a cross, each aligned to either the sunrise, sunset, summer or winter solstice.
Each concrete tunnel is drilled with holes which correspond to either the constellations of Draco, Perseus, Columba or Capricorn. Once inside the sculpture not only provids shelter from the desert sun but also allows you to see the play of light as the sun moves across the sky.
