Josh Cozzo filming Steve Deihl as he pours a mixture of slow-drying titanium white paint and spreads it across the surface: Maison Bergogne, Narrowsburg, New York. Equinox, like the the other landscape paintings in Deihl's Narrowsburg Series, is a time-based work that slowly gathers Nature and the effects of Weather for 6 months, from the Spring Equinox to the Autumnal Equinox, evidence of Moment and Place.

The steel panel measures 34" x 89" (Fibonacci Numbers) and was fabricated by Coda Supply in Sparrowbush, NY. It is made of galvanized HVAC material that was cut and folded to specification.
The surface was sanded and deeply abraded to add visual texture and a rough surface for the primer.

Paint-blocking tape is applied to the surface in straight horizontal lines, also of Fibonacci lengths: 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, ...

3 layers of metal primer were applied to the surface, sealing the tape which later will reveal the steel surface below.

3 layers of Golden acrylic gesso were applied over the steel primer. This part of the process was done in August, 2025. The panel was then stored over winter in the studio until March, 2026.
