Minne, Lonely Borrower

She lives behind the wainscots of a Big Folk house, all alone in her hidey holes. She's not alone by choice. She doesn't trust the Big Folk, not one bit. But she needs somewhere to live and some way to get food. And they always leave so much lying about, surely a few crumbs couldn't hurt. So she crawls out, in a dress stitched together from bits of discarded tablecloths, always afraid of being found when she goes for food. But she knows she can't hide forever...

The tiny woman stands in the near foreground, one inch tall, facing the viewer squarely with her back pressed flat against the front of a tall ceramic cookie jar; the jar fills the frame behind and above her, its glazed shoulder curving out of the top of the picture, and its base is her wall. Her weight is on her right leg, left knee bent and left heel lifted out of its tiny black flat, and both hands are up at her chest, fingers curled around a single crumb that is as big as her torso and heavy enough that her shoulders are pulled slightly forward and her elbows tucked in. The crumb is rough, porous, pale-bread gold, gripped at its two outer edges so a thin line of it shows between her knuckles. Her socks are white napkin-woven, visible coarse weave sitting above the black flats and bunched a little at the ankles. Her patchwork dress of mismatched checker-print tablecloth hangs sleeveless from her shoulders to mid-calf, the mismatched squares meeting at mismatched seams, a thin red ribbon cinched at her waist and knotted, its two short tails hanging against her left hip. Her brown hair is barely-kempt, unbrushed strands frizzing loose from two small messy buns sitting low behind each ear, hair strands escaping across her temples. Her face is turned straight to the viewer with a frightened expression: brows pulled up and inward, eyes wide with a visible white above each iris, mouth slightly open and drawn back at the corners, chin tucked. To her left and slightly nearer the camera, a spoon lies at an angle across the granite, its bowl concave and reflecting the room's warm light; behind her right shoulder a squat salt shaker and a folded dish towel stand at distances that dwarf her, and further back the giant kitchen opens out: a stove's dark bulk, cabinet faces, a window with cool daylight, all rendered shallower and softer than the counter. The countertop's granite grain is enormous under her, a field of speckles and mica glints each as big as her palm. The key light comes from the window in the background, cool and low, raking across the counter from behind her so her shadow is thrown forward toward the viewer, long and crisp at her feet and split by the jar. Against that cool light, a set of large shadows sweeps across the countertop from the upper right, blurry-edged and bar-shaped, a moving shadow crossing between her and the salt shaker, another sliding up the jar's flank and bending over its curve; the edges of those shadows are soft where the granite glints are sharp, and the light dims and returns across the counter as they pass. Her face is caught in the gap between two passing shadows, lit only by the bounce off the granite, so her eyes shine against a slightly darkened face. Palette is a 1980s cel palette: warm ochre and cream granite, terracotta and mustard in the checker patchwork, the single saturated red of the ribbon, jar glaze in soft celadon, cool blue-grey window light, and flat shadow tones with hard cel edges. The grain of the granite speckles runs small under her feet and swells toward the foreground; the kitchen behind drops into simpler shapes. Tense, hushed peril.
