Needle in Square by Brooke Borcherding
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.

“My recent work in acrylic is a contemporary take on traditional landscape painting and is either executed on site or in the studio.”— Brooke Borcherding

The Space Needle rises through a faceted field of turquoise, magenta and cream, twenty-four inches square. Borcherding is a Seattle painter and this is the city's most photographed object, painted as a set of planes rather than a silhouette. The Needle is barely more emphasised than the buildings around it.
