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.

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 world of nature excites and enchants me.”— Barbara Duzan

A small animal head worked in ceramic and textile, its muzzle massed with beaded flowers in scarlet and green and a headdress of dried pods and seed heads rising between the ears. It is the most ornamented and least anatomical of Duzan's mixed-media pieces — the creature underneath is barely identifiable and clearly not meant to be. Where the trophy heads argue with a form, this one simply dresses. The title names a woman, and the piece is a portrait of an attitude rather than a species.
