The same real thunderstorm, in molten orange and rust.

On June 9, 2026, a homebuilt VLF radio antenna in rural Tennessee caught five minutes of a passing storm. Every lightning strike sends out a burst of very low frequency radio, called a sferic, and this print is that recording drawn as a spectrogram: five rows, one minute each. Every thin vertical line is a single lightning strike.

The Ember Edition burns warm, like the glow of a strike frozen in place. Nothing illustrated, nothing generated: just the storm, exactly as the radio heard it.

  • Recorded June 9, 2026, 5:04 PM, 1.5–16 kHz
  • Museum-quality matte paper, rich blacks
  • Unframed: ships rolled in a protective tube
  • Framed: choose a black, natural oak or white wood frame; arrives ready to hang with a clear acrylic front and hanging hardware
  • Printed to order, usually ships in 2–5 business days

Part of the Tennessee Thunderstorm series: also available in Original, Blue Hour and Northern editions, and as a three-panel triptych.
