a vast coral fan standing upright, standing alone at enormous scale, folded into parallel creases like a closed fan, each crease carrying a sharp lit edge and a deep shaded trough beside it. It fills the upper two thirds and meets flat dry ochre plain, completely plain and calm, the form sitting directly on it, the ground plain and calm while every flute on the form stays razor-sharp. pale chalky desaturated colour throughout, bright even light, the mid-tones held down and the shadows still deep. hard raking sun near the horizon, an empty cobalt sky, and the form's shadow stretched the full width of the frame. one person alone in a bone shirt, standing at the base of the form, tiny — about one fiftieth of the frame's height, too small to read a face. Awe held completely straight — a photograph of something impossible, taken calmly at midday. full rich colour across the whole frame with every surface carrying its own real hue, but nothing pushed to maximum intensity and nothing neon or electric, colour deep and true rather than bright, highlights clean and small with no blown-out white areas, deep shadow present
