Old Maids
Old Maids
This piece is part of SoundEscapes,
a series of commissions by the Sainsbury Centre and Sound and Music.
Composed to accompany ‘Old Maids’ by Leonora Carrington, the piece creates a sonic encounter with the imagined story of the painting. Inspired by the wit and strange poetry of Carrington’s vision, it listens to the voices and figures within the painting, and sings its themes of human/animal co-existence and subversive female ageing for the viewer.
Featuring the voices of Kate Huggett, Melanie Pappenheim and Rose Stachniewska.
