Painting
The posed, meticulous quality of Abigail’s Vanitas Still Life reflects the fragility of life. By removing the organic elements of the garden—such as Colin’s mother’s roses and the robin’s eggs from their natural context, Matheson reminds us of the temporary, fleeting nature of such objects. Preserved in timeless oil-paint perfection, we’re able to feel relief knowing on the canvas, they will remain as they once were.

"'Martha,' she said, 'they were your wages. It was your two-pence really. Thank you.' She said it stiffly because she was not used to thanking people or noticing that they did things for her. 'Thank you,' she said, and held out her hand because she did not know what else to do.'"
