Nothing here has been enhanced. Everything you see is derived from the object — the record below says exactly how each view was made.

Shadows and Leaves by Gary Groves
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.

“In my craft of woodcut, I carve very fine detailed parts to create tonal variations in my images.”— Gary Groves

I'm drawn to the way shadow and leaf-cover press against each other until the line between them almost disappears. The steps hold their shape in the lower corner while everything above pulls toward pattern — dark branches threading through that speckled field of light. I follow my gut with this one; I don't ask too many questions.
