Situated amongst an ecology of research that includes sculpture, plants, soil, textiles, sound, video and performance, Amber Cronin’s practice gathers people, objects and matter in combinations that facilitate meditations on connection and discovery.
Developed over extended periods through conversations and collaboration, Cronin’s work collects and expounds on the sensory qualities of everyday actions, reframing them as participatory sites of ritual activity.
Born out of an oscillation between global phenomena and intimate encounters, her recent work finds its genesis in the complex politics of art as means of contemplation– as a means of survival, that allows us to enter a shared dimension with ourselves and the more-than-human.
