Maria Simonds-Gooding, b.1939

Water Source II, 2010

Water Source II, by Maria Simonds-Gooding, evokes humanity’s efforts to survive in some of the planet’s most remote, austere habitats. Light is an intrinsic element in all her work in the way it reflects off the aluminium surface, in her use of incisions, and in how their shadows act as a form of drawing.

About the Artist

Maria Simonds-Gooding, b.1939

Maria Simonds-Gooding was born in India and moved to Ireland as a child. She attended the National College of Art and Design, Dublin, and Bath Academy. Inspired by the physicality of the Irish coastal landscape, Simonds-Gooding's practice considers the struggle between the individual and the environment. Exhibited extensively since the 1970s, her work is held in public collections including the National Gallery of Modern Art, New Delhi, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
