Bright Spark: Amber by Tamera Abaté
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 work into the unknown — beeswax, damar resin, and amber pigment fused with a propane torch, layer by layer until the wax decides where color settles. Here, a solid field of gold holds the horizon line, while above it the heat has opened a web of cracks and passages reaching back through the layers — adding and excavating at once. This is where one color meets another, and the surface keeps the record.
