Held By You by Britt Freda
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 is essential to compel a person to love something before they'll risk what it takes to defend it.”— Britt Freda

Two oyster shells in close contact — the phrase ‘held by you’ answering what the shells do to each other and to the water. Freda works in watercolor and graphite on archival paper, the surface built up until the nacre has the quality of something translucent. Gold leaf at the edges changes the light. 8 × 8 inches.
