While staying overnight
in the house, the sisters sense a
mysterious presence
in their midst - noises startling them
in the night,
objects moving about, a fallen
picture of an unknown woman posed next to their mother.
The absence of a human figure tasks the
objects in the paintings with suggesting a narrative arc, imbuing them with a sense of
mysterious drama — a door that is slightly ajar, a glass of water left on a bathroom sink, a broom leaning against a wall are the only evidence of the presence of a person, perhaps having moments before walked through the
picture frame, or lingering just out of sight.
