Nothing here has been enhanced. Everything you see is derived from the object — the record below says exactly how each view was made.

Grand Forest by Teresa Smith
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 paint an island as sanctuary.”— Teresa Smith

A forest interior taken vertically, and the most densely worked painting Smith has shown here. Trunks in burnt sienna and near-black run the full height while the canopy is built from her characteristic boughs — thick curved strokes of prussian and viridian, each a single loaded pass laid down and left alone. Through the middle of it a shaft of acid yellow-green opens, with fragments of blue sky caught in the gaps. There is no aperture here of the kind she usually builds, no clear way out; the light arrives between things rather than beyond them. The eye has to work, which is the point of a grove.
