Ellipse by Julie Anne Mann
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.

“It's a working artists' school, a great school model.”— Julie Anne Mann

A wasp nest, whole, mounted on a grey panel with a black disc set behind it so the papery grey mass reads as a moon in front of its own shadow. The nest's construction is entirely visible — the overlapping swirls of chewed wood pulp laid down in bands — and Mann has not altered it. A single dark entrance hole sits low on the right. She has taken an object built by insects and asked it to be a planet.
