Wishing Stone by Alfred Currier
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.

“For me, art has been an obsession as well as a passion. Passion would be for the love of it. Obsession means you have no choice.”— Alfred Currier

A raven stands on a stack of balanced stones against a pale ground, twenty by ten inches. The stones are painted smooth and the bird thickly, so the two occupy different physical surfaces on the same canvas. Currier paints ravens as often as tulips and gives them the same treatment as the field workers: simplified, dark, and never subordinate to what they are standing on.
