Colours in Byatt’s collection of short stories are either organic or related to the body, which is consistent with the stories as tales of domestic horror depicting the decaying body, the tortured body, the ecorche body or the body left without a mind. Byatt is, in particular, a black magician evoking the horror within by making use of the domestic toil of black-leading or the domestic upset of the war’s blackout to build a sophisticated metaphor of the work of art as metamorphosis. Working like a painter incrementing layers upon layers of meaning like so many touches of colour or coats of material, Byatt’s use of colour is a subtle means to work on the limit (limes) of the unspeakable and stand on the threshold (limen) between brilliance and terror so that she may transform Raw Material into Body Art as two aptly named stories suggest. Working with colours, she paints the body sublime.
