An early work by Dorothy Cross, Simeon's Hut (1986) anticipates the artist's later tendency to incorporate found objects, such as boats, animal or shark skins, in her oeuvre. Comprising a mix of materials, the work can be read from the gravity of lead at its base, with gilded steps leading upwards towards a narrow, vertically placed shaft of timber surmounted by a modest hut.If we are to seek a narrative context for the work, its form coupled with its title can be taken to refer to Simeon Stylites (c.390-459). This fifth-century ascetic saint lived for 37 years on a platform atop a column near modern-day Aleppo, Syria. Does Simeon's Hut therefore propose a site of solitary meditation away from busy communal life?Dorothy Cross (b.1956) is one of Ireland's leading contemporary artists and her work has been described as “moving from opera to object in a territory between idea and nature.”Educated at the, then, Crawford Municipal School of Art, Leicester Polytechnic, and San Francisco Art Institute, Cross represented Ireland at the Venice Biennale in 1993. She was awarded an honorary doctorate by University College Cork in 2009. Her work is also in the collections of the Irish Museum of Modern Art, National Gallery of Ireland, The Hugh Lane, Ulster Museum, and TATE. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Episode 4 of a new series of oral histories, led by Donal Maguire, curator of the Gallery's ESB CSIA, documenting some of the experiences and thoughts of artists living and working through the COVID-19 emergency. In episode 4, artist Dorothy Cross discusses her life in Connemara and her works Ghost Ship (1999), Shark Heart Submarine (2011), and Heartship (2019). This conversation was recorded on 15 May 2020. Born in Cork, Dorothy Cross lives and works in Connemara, County Galway. Over the past forty years she has developed a critically acclaimed, multidisciplinary art practice that combines elements of sculpture, installation, photography, video and drawing. Cross's works explore relationships between living beings and the natural world. About Artists' Voices: Life in a Pandemic: Oral histories are a unique record of an individual's personal thoughts and experiences. They are a valuable source of knowledge for researchers, providing insight and connection to a person's life and character. The ESB Centre for the Study of Irish Art, at the National Gallery of Ireland, builds, cares for and makes available the national record of art in Ireland for public study and interpretation. Oral histories are a type of archival record and form an interesting part of the ESB CSIA's collection. In recognizing the significant impact of COVID-19, the ESB CSIA is carrying out a series of short conversations with artists to document some of their experiences and thoughts of living and working through the pandemic. These conversations, led by Donal Maguire, Curator of the ESB CSIA, were recorded using technology that is conveniently available to the artist. The use of commonplace technologies for this project reflects the more general and increasing significance of these platforms for everyday communication. The ESB CSIA acknowledges the generosity of the artists for agreeing to talk about their life and work during this uncertain time. This oral history project has been generously supported by ESB, sponsor of the ESB Centre for the Study of Irish Art Image: Courtesy Kerlin Gallery. Photographer: Sue Flood
Dorothy Cross lives in Charleys Forest, a little over 20 minutes out of Braidwood NSW. I met Dorothy when my son was about a month old at Playgroup. We were really fortunate, as parents of young children, that someone took the initiative to organise this weekly group and give us all the opportunity to come together for chats and a play. Dorothy has also been regularly involved in the local parkrun at the Braidwood Showground and was instrumental in encouraging me to get out and about again, once those postpartum aches subsided. Dorothy is mum to three children, two born prior to moving to her rural property at Charleys Forest and then Bastien (her youngest) who was born in 2018. Bastien's birth was a quick one. Dorothy went into labour as Anamae got off the school bus. Bastien was born a short while later at Queanbeyan hospital around quarter to 7 and Dorothy was driving her family home by 9.30pm. Living rurally makes you no stranger to travel but Dorothy definitely took the travel and distance in her stride, as she travelled to the maternity ward and back home in a single evening. Dorothy shares how, as a member of the Queanbeyan hospital's ‘Aboriginal Maternal and Infant Health Service' program, she was offered in home appointments with her midwife before and after Bastien's birth. She believes that it would be phenomenal if in the future this community practice could become available to all rural birthing women and that minimising travel for pregnant women during that tight maternity check-up schedule could be achieved. I hope you enjoy listening to Dorothy's rural birth story. I had a lot of fun talking to her. Dorothy is fantastic to chat to and I just felt like we bounced so easily as we shared in what it was like to be pregnant, birth and experience the postpartum period as rural women.

TransitionAn exhibition curated from the Arts Council Collection by 5th year Loreto students.South Tipperary Arts Centre, in conjunction with the Tipperary Arts Office and The Arts Council, devised a project, in which the 5th Year students of the Loreto Convent Secondary School would work with Arts Council’s historic art collection with the aim of curating a show of artworks and to engage with the process of curating. The resulting exhibition features works which the students themselves chose and features an audio segment in which the pupils discuss their decisions and methods of curation. Featured within ‘Transition’, are the works of John Behan, Carmel Benson, Pauline Bewick, Melanie leBrocquy, Jennifer Brady, Michelle Brown, Amanda Coogan, Dorothy Cross, Mary Ann Duffy, Anita Groener, Dragana Jurisic, and Helena Kelly. Transition runs from 11th April - 18th May 2019
Artists and curators Louisa Chambers and Olivia Punnett talk about the respective exhibitions they were involved in curating for the 2017 Wirksworth Festival, Veneer and Internal Nebular. Curated by Louisa Chambers and Emily Strange, Veneer brings together a group of diverse artists from around the country whose practices play with themes of domesticity, display and concealment, and architectural space. The works are grouped together under the title Veneer. Working alongside Louisa and Emily will be artists Craig Fisher, Conor Hereford, Demi Levi, Tessa Lynch, Laura McCafferty, Zoe Mendelson, David Penny, Gabriel Tejada and Ian Whitfield. Internal Nebular explores the clandestine nature of geological time and the crystalline structures it forms, as well as connecting to the history of stone, so much a part of the Derbyshire landscape and identity. The works all have a reverence to the natural world, whilst being sited firmly in a contemporary understanding of the ground beneath our feet. The exhibition includes work by Dorothy Cross, Liz Orton and Alastair Mackie. Music on the podcast is from Dave Langdon a beautiful steel pedal composition titled 'Love Calls' https://www.facebook.com/100012305088305/videos/319938945092939/?story_fbid=319940911759409&id=100012305088305&comment_id=320076678412499¬if_t=feed_comment_reply¬if_id=1494718293224275
