Quiet Hours

A mother and child at a window, before sleep, in the only blue that is also a kind of warm.

The piece is about the colour of a particular hour — cold outside, but the room itself made warm by who is in it. The figures are silhouettes; the architecture is silhouette; only the window is allowed to be light, and even then it’s the blue of a winter evening.

Part of an ongoing series of domestic interior pieces exploring quiet emotional registers — the hours that don’t make it into the story but hold the story up.
