Iomani - Anne Conduit
In this collaboration, Lindsey showed Anne her original artwork ‘Iomani’. Anne has an eye condition that means she is unable to see fine detail and her colour vision is affected. She described what she saw in Lindsey’s artwork and Lindsey painted a second piece to describe her response.
Lindsey’s original artwork
Lindsey’s Iomani 50 x 50 cm oil on canvas
This painting depicts the interior of a village house in Cyprus at dusk. We are looking through french doors with a with a light voile curtain appearing as a strip down the right hand side of the canvas. To the left this strip is echoed by a dark wall A red tiled floor leads the eye into the room and is interrupted by dust moats, a shaft of sunlight creating a white patch in the foreground.
The furniture is pushed aside and covered in dust sheets, possibly a cupboard or trunk forming a ghostly cube centre right. In the top left quadrant of the picture, a window on the back wall is being enlarged and has yet to be completed. It appears as a dark vertical rectangle in the background wall of pearly creamy grey.

This painting depicts the interior of a village house in Cyprus at dusk as if viewed through clouded tinted glass. The clouds are soft and muted. We are looking through french doors with a with a light voile curtain appearing as a strip down the right hand side of the canvas. To the left this strip is echoed by a dark wall A red tiled floor leads the eye into the room and is interrupted by dust moats, a shaft of sunlight creating an l shaped light patch in the foreground.
