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.

How it hangs: It stands on its own, but it is so light that a breeze from an open door can tip it: set it on a few dots of clear museum gel under its feet - the gel museums use to secure objects, removable and harmless to any surface (the artist's note, 29 September 2026).

“Using bamboo, glass, and thread, I create highly crafted, intricate sculptures that reflect the natural world.”— Charissa Brock

Da Capo is made out of Phyllostachys nigra, or black bamboo. Black bamboo is an amazing plant. The color varies from green, to green with brown speckles, to jet-black. Soil conditions, growing conditions, and slight varieties in genetic make-up of the plant can help in creating the color variations. Da Capo comes from a series where I investigate the spiral form. As often is the case in my making process, when I create a simple form, I see variation possibilities. I see potential for further work, based on questions I ask myself in the making process. During the making process, I asked, “What would happen if I…?” Da Capo is the end result of a line of questioning. Of course, while creating Da Capo another series of questions was raised. The experimentation continues. One critic, when writing about this piece, called it a roller coaster for the eyes. I love the idea that the eye can travel along the piece, tracing the movement.
