Ark

SCULPTURE AND INSTALLATION. The Mill adelaide, SOUTH AUSTRALIA 2020

Ark gently acknowledges overlooked, discarded things that sit between human and plant realms. As sculptural metaphors these vessels were conceived to carry these markers of relationship, remembering what is sacred in this interrelationship. 

Developed through a vocabulary of processes, forms emerge that reframe everyday actions as sites of ritual activity. Utilising elements of ceramics, textiles, performance, moulding and casting, Cronin’s studio experiments are gathered and displayed in combinations that facilitate mediations on connection and discovery. These sculptural objects are arranged together in a speculative narrative reimagining the way that we live with our own fragility and doubt by exploring the threads connecting ecology and art making. 

Cronin’s work considers a sculptural art practice as deep, ecological listening as the basis for better understanding our place in the world.
