Here, moths seed dreams under a misty moon 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

Four moths hang in the upper third against a pale worked ground; below them a field of flower heads is built almost entirely from discs — hundreds of them, outlined and filled in bone white, ochre, oxblood and slate, stacked on stems that are themselves narrow vertical bands of grey. The palette is deliberately dusty; the reds arrive rarely and land hard. At four feet square this is the largest painting in her Sanctuary collection and the one where the mosaic method is carried furthest from any single creature — the whole meadow is made of the same cell she uses for a feather. Seen from across a room it resolves into weather. Up close it never stops being individual marks.
