Arts practice research processes, performances and artworks by interdisciplinary, movement-based artist/curator/choreographer Maria Kerin
Maria Kerin(-Walsh), artist curator choregrapher.
My movement-based arts practice provokes and informs a translocal artist-curatorial and choreographic practice, manifesting into peer to peer networks and systems to support collaborations presently in Ireland, Estonia and Sweden, in an interdisciplinary practice without borders.
I am particularly interested in deep listening, sensing time and opening up memories through awareness/presence as an embodied creativity process and ethical inquiry, informed through somatic principles that supports my practice concerned with our relationships with nature and consciousness. For example see blog page 'Post domestic: The future is the forest". Work with Kristina Kvamme, Sweden, since August 2019, in her walking practice that links through image and text live online on Fridays nourishes this. Ongoing explorations with Rachel Sweeney through Articulating Thresholds expands this inquiry.
Since 2018 I've been working on translocal, transdisciplinary collaborations in experimental heritage, with Professor Bodil Petersson of Linneaus University and members of Experimental Heritage network Sweden. This has led to us forming Karum-Creevagh, a group of artists, archaeologists and ecologists from Ireland and Sweden, concerned with our future.

Nervous around Horses
An invitation to partake in the West Cork arts festival this July has inspired a new soundscape, sourced in the body, expressed through the voice. Nervous around horses is a sound installation of live recordings of my engagement with Robert, my nieces 13.2 pony. I have been trying to learn to horse ride again for the past month. This requires facing my fear. I love horses but am nervous around them. I discovered that I talk continuously to the pony. Ive always been in awe of the farrier, PJ Connole who has been shoeing our ponies for 25 years. I listened to him and witnessed his calmness and control as he spoke to Robert while shoeing him. This is the first recording. The second part is a live recording of me saddling and riding Robert, a strange day that put a limit to my horse riding. The bridle broke. Robert snapped the bit from the lead and broke the bridle.
