Working on a project about the futility of human conflict, Cronin has crafted over 40 maquettes out of birch veneer and posed them in and around the castle and nearby environments to create multiple narratives about conflict, aggression, victimhood and eventually reconciliation. Late Medieval and Early Renaissance Italian art as been the formal inspiration for this series and the 15th Century Castello di Civitella Ranieri and Umbrian landscape play pivotal roles in the timeless story of humans behaving badly. 20 photographs of the various scenes will be on view in addition to the birch maquettes.
