Here we see near-IR images of the inner arcsecond of WR 112 created using aperture masking interferometry on the Keck telescope. The asymmetry near the center reveals the direction the dust cone is facing on each date and allows us to make a connection between the outer dust shells observed in the mid-IR and the inner ones (see modeling in Section 4).
