Maura Cronin
MFA ’20 Fine Arts Low-Residency
Fundamentally echoed within my creative process are collaboration, intuition and deep listening. I meet materials where I find them, often repurposing them, letting their essence speak to, through and with me. The process IS a relational dance, a sensory experience, a moment sacred. It is an orienting of the self and environment, while considering the viewer and ‘that which is becoming’. In my studio practice what comes through the hand with whole body engagement is an inherent sensitivity and knowledge of the skeletal and nervous systems, visceral organs and movements of the body. Reverence and inclusivity of all of our relations, ancestors, teachers, guides and energy field is part of the Whole of the work.

Her work embodies the process of discovery as a relational dance, a sensory experience, a moment sacred. It is an orienting of the self and environment, through the contrast of grounding while remaining expansive. She considers the elements, the viewer and ‘that which is becoming’ through the process, the moment and the work. She was Artist in residence in Viterbo, Italy with Montserrat College in 2016 and will be in a 2 week residency at Imagine Gallery, August 2021. In April 2021 she completed a permanent installation of her thesis sculptural work in Charlestown, MA with a private collector.
