Lantern slide. Rectangular wooden slide holds a round glass plate at centre, surrounded on one side by a copper ring. Plate shows a monochromatic image printed on glass of a nighttime scene of a town at bottom, with tall architecture, trees, foliage and a river reflecting moonlight. There is a sharp colour separation between this and a dark sky, which holds a crescent moon at top. Paper label reads "Dissolving Views – Aurora No 1".

In the work of Yurok artist Rick Bartow, human and animal images meld together, suggesting the interconnectedness of nature. In this cedar triptych, a crow and hawk mask human figures. For Bartow, these "transformational images" directly reference the myths he encountered while studying Native American carving techniques and symbolize the natural order and the power of change and redemption.
