The most reductive work in the collection — and perhaps the most demanding. Almost entirely absent of colour, Stillness is composed of whites, silvers and the palest greys, with the faintest suggestion of a horizon emerging in the lower half. The surface is dense with layered mark-making, but every mark is quietened by what came before and after it. You need to stand with this painting for time to pass before it begins to reveal itself. Zoë's artist statement describes her aspiration to give the viewer 'a reason to pause' — this is that painting.
