Bright Spark: Teal 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.

Teal veins run through a white field above a solid teal band, the wax broken open by heat into a network of cells. The shapes arise within the field rather than being drawn into it — what Abaté describes as the spontaneous dance and movement of liquid wax and heat. The band along the foot is a horizon: she was raised under the open skies of the Columbia Basin wheat country and responds to the dynamic of a horizon line separating yet pairing two fields of colour. Twelve inches square, encaustic: as many as thirty layers of beeswax, damar resin and pigment on birch, fused with a propane torch and smoothed with an iron.
