Nothing in this soft cream and pale blue whispers, even when the hallway does. Three small eggs sit in a line down the middle of a chalky off-white page, each numbered by hand, with a line of old script along the bottom. Put it up and the wall gains a point of focus without gaining noise. It works at eye level in a hallway, above a writing desk, or on a narrow strip of wall beside a doorway where you pass it closely. Pair it with linen, aged leather, dark wood and painted cabinetry in cream or soft sage. Don’t hang it on a busy patterned wallpaper, and don’t put it next to a big saturated abstract the fine speckles get flattened. As stretched canvas the off-white ground reads warmer and softer, with no reflections to fight.
