Mystery To Explore by Tim McMeans
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.

A raven perches inside a large drawn circle, its tail crossing the line, with smaller rings and stained discs floating around it on bare white. Twelve inches square. The circle is incomplete in three places. McMeans lets the geometry stay hand-drawn rather than ruled, which keeps it in the same register as the bird.
