Ode To Grandma N.L.

Ode To Grandma N.L.
Orleans House Gallery
April 2008

Davina and Daniel were commissioned to create a site-specific event for the launch of Phase 3 at Orleans House Gallery, London. They decided to create a work inspired by a late resident of the house, Nellie Ionides, who lived in Orleans House during the 1950’s and 1960’s and often hosted glamorous tea parties. Davina and Daniel learned about Nellie through the words of her granddaughter so chose to title the piece an ode to Grandma N.L.
The event involved inviting participants to share a their favourite ingredients for a cake and write it on a paper doyley, which was then laminated to given to another participant to keep as a souvenir.
