Storied Cedar by Taralee Guild
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.

“I explore the state of calm that comes from the liberty of colours and movements and from the energy that needs to expand naturally, without restrain nor objectives.”— Taralee Guild

A single old-growth cedar fills a tall narrow canvas, its trunk running the full five feet, with colour breaking around the bark in ribbons of green and gold. The tree is legible and its surroundings are not. Guild paints from photographs taken in protected BC forest, and she has placed this work explicitly in a line that runs through Emily Carr and the Group of Seven — Canadian painters who went to the same trees.
