The Book of Hours was a devotional book that was used to structure the daily prayers of the faithful. These included very regulated practices of certain prayers recited at certain times of day. Among these are the Vespers, which are usually recited around sunset. This is the transitional time of day when the clarity of day gives way to the ambiguity of night, when forms dissolve into each other and create new possibilities. These pieces are about that place where identities merge and create new ideas.
