It’s a funny old world when seen through the eyes of Brendan Grace. The sanctimonious priest who knows more than he’s telling: ‘’Blessed is he who gets married in the nick of time’’. The father of the bride makes a speech at his daughters wedding: ‘’She could have married someone with money; she could have married someone who was working. She could have married someone who wasn’t working but was willing to work.’’ Then there’s the schoolboy with the unspeakable personal habits and a fine line in sympathy pleas.

The resilient delicacy of natural structures is the focus of these images. They convey the wonderful strangeness of those tiny worlds so close to us and so much a part of the earth's life and yet, so alien. Eve had a very successful 2009, with shows including ‘Dragon eyes black’ Solo Exhibition, Café Moda, Rathmines, Dublin 6, 4th March – 4th July ‘Receipt for Life’ Solo Exhibition, Birr Theatre and Arts Centre, Co.
