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

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.

“Early on, I made a conscious choice to portray through my art the beauty and hope that I find in nature.”— Pamela Wachtler

I worked into the plate a narrow stream threading through the trees — that pale light held in the canopy, the quiet suggestion of somewhere further in. Hand-coloring lets me bring the muted greens and earth tones forward slowly, the way I find hope in these woodland places: not loudly, but as a moment of respite, something to return to.

A hand-coloured monotype — a unique impression, not an edition.
