Its own room

A Watched Pot

Pam Ingalls · Oil on Canvas · 12″ h × 9″ w × 1.5″ d

Nothing here has been enhanced. Everything you see is derived from the object — the record below says exactly how each view was made.

Set your screen once. Hold a bank card against the screen and slide until the orange outline matches its width.

This is the photograph at true size, for placing it in your room with your phone. Its sides and back will appear here after the studio capture — we will not invent them.

The surface under moving light

This view is built only from real photographs of the work, each lit from a different angle, so you can move the light yourself and watch the real surface answer. It is being captured in the studio and will appear here. Until then we show nothing rather than an imitation.

“I like painting what we are used to, noticing things we don't necessarily always notice.”— Pam Ingalls

A kitchen interior with a black range at its centre, a red-and-white tiled floor running to the front edge, and warm light gathering on the ceiling. Ingalls paints from dark to light — the room was laid in shadow first and the illumination added on top — and the method shows in how the highlights sit proud of the ground. Her palette is famously restricted: one yellow, two reds, two blues, a black and a white. Everything in this room is made from those.
