Sandpipers 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

Sandpipers at the waterline — three birds at work in the zone where the wave has just receded, their plumage rendered in ochre, cream, and warm grey with the precision of an illustrator who has looked a long time. The shallow foreground gives way to a pale horizon that refuses depth; the birds are not scenic. They are named. Freda has spent fifteen years on endangered species; even when the birds in a work are not technically at risk, the act of rendering them this carefully is the same act. Watercolor, graphite, and gold leaf on archival paper.
