Summary
Claudia does not name all of her paintings. Often when she does name them, it will be a purely descriptive title: Stapler. Still Life with Orchid. She comes to appreciate the value of naming things properly. Framing is everything - you must place your audience in the right mindset, with the title, to understand your work. No one enjoys being utterly inscrutable all the time.
It turns out that if you don't name your work, other people will do it for you.

Summary
You must forgive her. When memory begins to deteriorate, it is not dates one holds onto. It is not the order of events, the exact places and times and people. She remembers the smell of the acrylics as she popped the lids off her paints. She remembers the tail of a cat brushing around her legs. She remembers the setting sun warming her back as it slips towards the horizon. She remembers Claudia, surrounded by autumn leaves. In the end, that might be all Roimata remembers.
In the end, that memory might be all she has left.

Summary
A familiar face visits the Karikari Contemporary Gallery.
Loving someone makes you an expert in the field of her. How to make her laugh like she is getting away with something. The way she looks outside on an autumn day. The exact colour of her eyes, the pitch of her voice, the beat of her heart. Your expertise outlives its application, as you run out of chances to love her. You are an expert in a dying field.
