Home-Scapes II
Home-Scapes II is a portrait of Mary Elizabeth O’Byrne, the artist’s godmother – an ordinary and extraordinary woman, a contemporary and intimate friend of Pridmore’s mother. Inspired by Virgina Woolf’s To The Lighthouse (for the artist Mary Pridmore, Mary O’Byrne was another Mrs Ramsay), and Edouard Vuilard’s suggestive, patterned interiors, these cigar-box-sized gouaches build a (loving) homage to Mary O’Byrne’s life. Memory and reality are fused, the images reflect on the eccentric and homely interior of the red-brick suburban house…

Kato Kuniko :
Bach to Xenakis
Presented by Just Percussion Kato Kuniko won praise for her performance of Bach’s G minor violin sonata at the 1995 Leigh Howard Stevens International Marimba Competition, particularly for her lack of marimba rolls in the Adagio.

We hardly notice the bush and rarely see native creatures, except as roadkill. Reconnection with the native world around us can be made through these…
