Through the Fence is 7 p.m. in my Hours of the Day series. Elements from each hour connect the previous image to this one, and other elements connect to the 8 p.m. hour. The suited men from the Reception are engaged here, their action suspect but undefined. The fish on a tray has morphed into a prone woman, whose position continues into the next hour, as does the bamboo growing outside the fence. The evening hours are taken over by lust and sex, expressed through the characters of the Hours extended family. A barrier is being crossed, though its exact meaning remains obscure.

One of the perks of membership is that you get to post comments on objects, museums, and other member's walls. (Though some users have chosen to restrict access to their personal walls - in which case you'll have to friend them before you can post to their wall.)
Anybody can register - though you do have to be at least thirteen or older and have a working email address.
It doesn't cost anything to register. Just sign up and you'll be an insider in no time flat.
