Set your screen once. Hold a bank card against the screen and slide until the orange outline matches its width.

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.

“Art making involves constant decision making. Whether at the easel or on the computer, the more capable the artist, the more imaginative and appropriate the decisions.”— Parvin

The largest and most violent of Parvin's paintings. Ultramarine and deep violet collide with an acid yellow-green across a white ground, the darks pooling into hard-edged masses while the yellow tears through them in a diagonal. Where her blooms are centred and contained, this is off-balance on purpose — weight gathered low and left, the upper right almost empty. The cell structure is at its coarsest here, the pigment allowed to break rather than settle. Abstract, but the title is not arbitrary: something in the mass and the forward lean of it does read as a prow.
