Thalia (in ancient Greek Θάλεια / Tháleia or Θάλια / Thália, "the joyous, the flourishing", from θάλλειν / thállein, to flourish, to be verdant) was the muse who presided over comedy and idyllic poetry. She was the daughter of Zeus and Mnemosyne, the eighth-born of the nine Muses. She was portrayed as a young woman with a joyous air, crowned with ivy, wearing boots and holding a comic mask in her hand.

Shadow
Shadow stretching as the sun pours across the table through an unseen window, translucent in its suggested presence. This setting hints that the house is in the north. A table clock, rested hands, no longer in the action of drinking, time is made still, once as the pause in a raising or falling tick, secondly by the photograph. Empty containers trace a human pattern. Morning, afternoon, night. The day has been used, emptied out. Discarded, a momentary fetish now forgotten, the place left behind, an arrangement of when the conscious object became unconscious.
