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

Along The River by Susan Le Van
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.

“The Grizzly Bears are simply amazing. I was unprepared for the scale of them; their speed and grace; their playfulness; their palpable intelligence and complex social interactions.”— Susan Le Van

A bear built almost entirely from printed newspaper walks left across bands of orange, green and slate. The type is legible in places and Le Van does not hide it — the animal is literally made of text. Thirty by thirty-seven inches. She trained as a printmaker at Cranbrook and quotes Art News on paper as a disobedient medium with primordial powers; a grizzly assembled from newsprint is that idea taken at its word.
