Free Spirits 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 in layers — beeswax, damar resin, and pigment fused with a propane torch — always moving into the unknown, where the heat decides how each color settles. In Free Spirits, the wax fell into vertical rhythms across three panels: greens, then golds and reds, then the cool quiet of blue-gray — fields of color stacked like seasons, each one meeting the next at its own horizon. I kept reaching down through those layers, smoothing the high points, excavating something that feels like standing inside a grove and looking up.
