It was to be the Surveyor’s Office and residence. Perhaps there was some sense of urgency to have the building finished for Richard Larritt and his new bride Maggie? Their wedding was in April 1858\, although the building wasn’t finished until sometime in 1859. \nWhat was life like for Maggie Larritt\, a colonial woman in the first years of her marriage? Her husband was mapping the streets of early Bendigo and women were encouraged to be the ‘Angel in the House’ as per Coventry Patmore’s poem of that name. The poem was popular in the era\, espousing ideals of devotion grace and purity for women who would primarily remain in the domestic sphere. It is interesting to note that Virginia Woolf wrote later of ‘Killing the Angel in the House’. \nFlowers were seen as an appropriate subject for a woman to explore and while there is little information available about Maggie Larritt\, it is highly likely she was aware of Indigenous flowers. Yet it is unlikely that she appreciated their importance as a food source. \nWorks for Mrs Larritt have been made in consultation with Dja Dja Wurrung elders who provided information regarding food plants of significance.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Artist’s Bio” tab_id=”1518320329651-b769a1a3-29e6905c-b0b3368e-b9ef2edb-f0663f53-0933d7b5-7167″][vc_column_text]Meticulous\, considered drawing is the basis for Catherine Pilgrim’s practice including lithographs\, drawings and textiles. Fastidious attention to detail is the work’s common element – fueled by curiosity and a commitment to accessible imagery. Absence\, contemporary still life\, personal and historical narratives influence much of the subject matter. \nCatherine has exhibited widely since 1994\, when she returned to Australia after studying lithography and drawing in Washington DC\, USA. In 2011 Catherine completed her Master of Fine Art (Research) at Monash University\, Melbourne. Her research was based on the subjective process of capture\, which occurs in making a representational image. \nCatherine has won a number of awards for her intricate works on paper including the Australian Print Workshop Collie Trust Award. \nThe artist’s works are held in public and private collections including the National Gallery of Australia\, Geelong Regional Art Gallery\, National Australia Bank\, Perri Cutten and Castlemaine Art Museum. \nCatherine’s most recent solo exhibition titled Mrs Larritt in Upside-down Country was held at Dudley House Bendigo in November 2018. This exhibition was supported by Creative Victoria through a Regional Centre for Culture\, Local Makers Grant. Mrs Larritt at fortyfivedownstairs\, Melbourne is the second iteration of this exhibition.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Artist Talk Saturday 9 November” tab_id=”1572417280127-8c64ef63-62f6″][vc_column_text]\n\nSaturday 9 November\, 1.30pm\n\n\nfortyfivedownstairs\, 45 Flinders Lane\, Melbourne\nFREE EVENT\, ALL WELCOME\nJoin us in the gallery on the final day of the exhibitions to hear Ella Whateley and Catherine Pilgrim speak about their current work and artistic process.\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_tabs][/vc_column][/vc_row]
