Off to the Residency Not a shabby view either. That white stone protruding out of from the left is actually part of a burial ground. Cillins ring the coast. Apparently, one is always in sight of another. They are where un-baptised babies were buried because the church would not allow a burial of these little beings on consecrated grounds. So the locals resorted to their Pagan past and buried them in the old tradition. I didn't realize this when i performed on the stone the first time. The stones have created a shallow alcove, consisting of two upright stones for walls with a third stone laid on top. It's a mini version of portal tombs that date back to the Neolithic period, 5000+ years ago. It had been repurposed as a shelter for hay - a handy way to keep food for the sheep dry over the winter. Later, I performed again on it but with the intention of releasing ancestral grief. The cottages were once a village, prior to the famine. They sat abandoned for years, like so many around this landscape, until a philanthropic neighbor transformed them into an artist residency. Thank you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55b682f1e4b024165dbc9a42/1492573807491-1FXE7T1OK07R2TYSMYR6/image-asset.jpeg blog - 14.

Castlenalact A gift at their feet, newly emerging nettles. A bio-available source of Iron, Calcium and lots of vitamins. These fresh ones in a tea, steeped overnight are extra pungent. Make sure you know what you're picking. I keep meeting people whose grandmothers use to dry a sheet sized spread of these to last them through the year - or put them in soups. They know which mushrooms to pick in the woods, which plants - but not their medicine. They're all from Eastern Europe or Ireland. It seems the Iron Curtain and living on an island curtailed some things and held onto others. Their grandmothers might have recognized the shifting tides and not passed on the knowledge or more likely they were so young, they don't remember. Their parents - dealing with the stresses of life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55b682f1e4b024165dbc9a42/1491744923150-GLH5A6JV0VQKMZF0QC36/image-asset.jpeg blog - 13.

Is my suffering unique? Is there a set amount of suffering in the world so that if one escapes suffering, a heavier amount must befall another? Why are there some materials that are polished by the grindstone and others that break with the friction? Suffering is part of the experience of life in the body. The word derives from the Latin sufferre, from sub, ‘from below’ and ferre, ‘to bear’. It seems that suffering, whether physical or psychological, must have a body to be borne by. The state of subjecthood, then, is the ground on which suffering rests its yoke. Without the shamed Sisyphus to roll it, the boulder would have remained a steady rock. Does suffering have a purpose? Does a measured dose make us better? Can we outsource it? Jesus’ life as remembered in the dominant gospels has transcendent purpose: “With his stripes, we are healed” (Isaiah 53:2-5.) From there, Weber's Protestant ethic suggests that we might distance ourselves from suffering by working hard and saving up. The very promise of consumer capitalism is that we can buy our way to permanent bliss, always one more purchase away. But what if suffering just exists? What if there is no escape, and nothing wrong with its emanation4? What if, as Thich Nhat Hanh puts it, the fragrant lotus flower needs the stinky mud in order to build its body. In that case, who is who? Mud and lotus are one system of impermanence, constantly metabolizing one state of being into another — one’s circumstances are always the perfect ground for the blossoming of awareness. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55b682f1e4b024165dbc9a42/1537586064119-KLHQSJBY8ERT7GARWWTK/traces.jpg 184 Project Space https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55b682f1e4b024165dbc9a42/1515318514785-938X4LC75NR11PSUXX63/MIS+image+184.jpg 184 Project Space https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55b682f1e4b024165dbc9a42/1486903924472-UAJOF8BV9HN65YC8H21Y/cover+for+website.jpg 184 Project Space https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55b682f1e4b024165dbc9a42/1459886759115-K1HEXX493S65KJF01CM3/perverse+2.jpg 184 Project Space https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55b682f1e4b024165dbc9a42/1459886758438-GIA165QYXMEXUTBMZB3T/in+your+room.jpg 184 Project Space https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55b682f1e4b024165dbc9a42/1459886759910-MFC84M8CBOUOTGHSKNAB/sleep.jpg 184 Project Space https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55b682f1e4b024165dbc9a42/1459887732281-2KJFOXB13C5ZTG3KOXAG/Screen+Shot+2016-04-05+at+3.50.26+PM.png 184 Project Space https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55b682f1e4b024165dbc9a42/1438387206082-YKEQQFKJRHLY2S6JCPKK/Screen+Shot+2015-07-31+at+7.52.09+PM.png 184 Project Space Environs II, curated by Donna Cleary.

It's placement atop an erect architect's tube defies gravity while pointing to the necessary phallic in the equation of creation. Suggesting an urn or basin and alluding to water or systems essential to life, this sculpture encapsulates the feminine divine. Yarn binds and gives new life to these domestic cast offs. The architect's drawing tube alludes to grand designs and creation. It is a means of displaying the vessel but in turn becomes part of the sculpture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55b682f1e4b024165dbc9a42/1446041018078-UDBI7IM5039IK9AUOMTU/hermaphrodite.jpg Sculpture 2015 cuddlefish 2015 Hand dyed yarn, found hand mixer and plumbing spigot.

A shipping box the quintessential symbol of consumer culture becomes a pedestal on a pedestal - a found stool. The crocheted male genitalia serve as a reminder of our capacity for rebirth while the quirky, abstracted form atop the box harkens to strange creatures beneath the sea. The red at the end of the wire is a piece of a plastic cap, cut into a tongue-like shape.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55b682f1e4b024165dbc9a42/1443889417421-B0YTKDMIS7RFCYNUS1R2/image-asset.jpeg Sculpture 2015 upper hand 2015, cast plaster hand, found conduit and box, yarn, 17 x 16 x 14 inches.

Continuing with the theme of fragmented body parts overgrown with organic masses, these mannequin heads worked in a home studio. Using metallic paint and silver leaf, the skin color of the mannequin reflects the true colors of classical sculpture. It has been discovered that instead of the pure white marble seen in museums, paint remnants on the sculptures reveal that they were painted in a variety of vibrant colors, including gold or silver leaf. The white standard continues because they fit a convenient narrative. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55b682f1e4b024165dbc9a42/1604271962195-X99K7NZKOPOYOK1ZKE84/PPE.jpg Donna Troy Cleary sculpture PPE mannequin head, yarn, up-cycled plastic waste (stuffing), 2020 Awareness shifts when balance is disrupted and the unseen becomes visible.

We live in symbiotic/mutualistic relationship with these species, providing them nutrients in exchange for digestion of our food, regulation of our immunity, and in some speculations, control our behavior. (See my post about the Microbiome.) The sculptures can be seen as a more accurate reflection of these relationships, bringing their importance to scale. Or, perhaps one potential outcome of the Anthropocene, where our bodies become the disregarded resource, used with abandon by the microorganism, consumed and plasticized over time. They are filled with up-cycled plastic waste as stuffing - bags accumulated from other merchants I work with. Plastic internalized. Micro-plastics have now been found inside our gut. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55b682f1e4b024165dbc9a42/1605537357518-LKJNZDV7TW5E9DZXJQPQ/Hybrid3.jpg Donna Troy Cleary sculpture hybrid2 2019 Yarn, up-cycled plastic shopping bags. 30 x 28 x 17 inches. Working on a smaller scale, this amalgam of human, plant and micro-organism reminds me of Winged Victory of Samothrace. Something about the wing-like forms at the top and the way the form falls down the leg. Microorganisms and plants are no longer viewed as autonomous entities, but rather as "holobionts", the host plus its mutualistic microbes. My training as an Herbalist highlighted the codependence between Flora, fauna and microbe, each requiring the other for survival. These are permeable constructs. It also speaks to the Anthropocene - and humanity’s lack of connection and felt responsibility for the landscape. It is stuffed with up-cycled plastic shopping bags, which are visible through the gaps in the crochet. Plastic internalized, ever-present. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55b682f1e4b024165dbc9a42/1605537420341-QPG5H32RLRJRUUGGEKTZ/image-asset.jpeg Donna Troy Cleary sculpture barrier mannequin head, yarn, up-cycled plastic, silver plate, acrylic paint. Inspired by visualizations while training as a Shaman in the Irish tradition. I’m also interested in referencing classical sculpture, which is presented in museums as white marble. However, they were originally vividly painted in bright colors or gold or silver leaf. Celtic warriors painted their faces to transform their mental state before battle. This face paint takes on a modern twist - a silver leaf face mask. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55b682f1e4b024165dbc9a42/1605537560071-QXA2JERQT430V92I9JQG/Hybrid5.jpg Donna Troy Cleary sculpture - Hybrid 5 Hybrid5 Yarn, mannequin arms, up-cycled plastic packaging, 2019 Microorganisms and plants are no longer viewed as autonomous entities, but rather as "holobionts", the host plus its mutualistic microbes.

We are part of a macroorganism, in a mutualistic relationship with every other part of the planet. This sculpture represent an amalgam of plant, human and the microorganisms that live within our gut, digesting, regulating inflammation and driving behavior. My work includes Social Practice. Last year I launched Spiral Herbal Remedies after training as an Herbalist for 3 years. We were taught to respect and recognize the interdependence of plants, humans and the microorganisms that affect our health. Yarn conjures home and care based activities - making throws, sweaters, scarves. They call out to be touched bringing people in close, where a surprise is revealed. The sculptures are stuffed with up-cycled shopping/grocery bags alluding to the Anthropocene as well as domestic activities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55b682f1e4b024165dbc9a42/1514567521121-KVVC5EGI9RY1G33H6J7F/Seat+at+the+Table+11.jpg Donna Troy Cleary sculpture seat at the table 39 x 26 x 21 inches Yarn, upcycled grocery bags (stuffing), stool. 2018 This full figured, generative body is claiming a seat at the table. Herbalists in indigenous cultures are revered, seen as central to a community, essential for life. They have power. I descend from Irish Herbalists on both sides of my family. In the 1700's the native Irish were forbidden to have a profession, own land or speak their own language. My family had no consciousness of this auspicious past until I attended a residency in Ireland in 2017. Reclaiming this knowledge is an act of resistance, a radical feminist act. My work has always been about re-empowering the traditionally feminine roles I've embodied - Mother, Nurse, Herbalist along with Care-based activities like crocheting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55b682f1e4b024165dbc9a42/1501774849498-97PAY6SMLFVESZ1JZT6R/homage+to+momma.jpg Donna Troy Cleary sculpture It is possible to sense the heft of hanging masses? 2018, Vintage Stand Mixer, Vintage metal stool, yarn, upcycled grocery/shopping bags (stufing), 54 x 30 x 26 inches A 1950’s era stand mixer becomes body when perched atop a vintage stool. The crocheted masses hanging from the mixer allude to the generative body, the maternal, the weight of responsibility that comes with caring for helpless living beings. The stand mixer alludes to a time in history where the “ideal” woman was sequestered in the home, confined to domestic activities and told to find happiness in the objects that would make her life easier. An entire industry was built and still persists around these gadgets. This stand mixer would have been coveted as a symbol of affluence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55b682f1e4b024165dbc9a42/1521300477776-I361LHE5F2IBFQDGRN21/Becoming+Cailleach.jpg Donna Troy Cleary sculpture Part of a costume made for Art In Odd Places: Body, New York City.

Crowning is the moment in birth when the baby first comes into contact with the outside world. Birth is the moment of transition between life on this planet and existence in another realm. This is the realm of the Shaman, Healer, Midwife and Artist, who navigate the spaces between realities. The ability to create life was seen as sacred and honored in ancient cultures. Fertility sculptures found across the globe are a reflection of this reverence. But fertility isn't just about giving birth. It is about the cyclical nature of life, recognizing that life and death, health and illness, the seasonal changes in the landscape, are an inextricably connected and often celebrated part of life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55b682f1e4b024165dbc9a42/1484280002667-KEAKZV177AOJRWJFKKPB/detail%2C+shaman+stick+best.jpg Donna Troy Cleary sculpture detail: shaman staff This staff is covered in talismans - a bevy of fertility sculptures. Each talisman embodies the generative process. Bottles contain infused oils created from herbs grown and/or harvested by the artist. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55b682f1e4b024165dbc9a42/1509642264103-Y37MU10X3929XPPVPP43/shaman+stick+best.jpg Donna Troy Cleary sculpture shaman staff 53 x 18 x 12 inches, vintage scythe, bottles filled with herbs and instructions for making a fertility tincture, yarn, up-cycled grocery bags (stuffing). Symbolizing the Axis Mundi, this Shaman Staff, created for ceremonial purposes, is used to mark a transitional point between the conscious and unconscious or celestial pole between worlds. Traditionally feminine, the omphalos (umbilicus), is the center of the world. Relating to birth, this staff also represents the physical site of transition before and after birth. A vintage agricultural tool, the scythe, has lost its blade and is recontextualized as the base for this sculpture. Agrarian culture, marked the onset of the Patriarchy, during the Neolithic period. Land was now "owned" and the idea of stockpiling/excess in preparation for seasonal shortages came into being. Women, as the producers of the labor force for harvesting, then needed to be controlled. Found bottles are filled with herbs and instructions for making a fertility tincture. They are surrounded by crocheted yarn, converting them to dangling fertility sculptures and a powerful tool in ceremony. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55b682f1e4b024165dbc9a42/1590724734167-HA11IG882BU7NOC4QKNY/white.jpg Donna Troy Cleary sculpture https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55b682f1e4b024165dbc9a42/1621952210813-CFQO8JDV5GC2VC7H4G67/Becoming+other.jpg Donna Troy Cleary sculpture - Becoming Other Becoming Other 68 x 72 x 28 inches, Mannequin, Yarn, Up-Cycled plastic (stuffing), fake grass.

Covered in Moss and Mud, materials that reference the moss covered, green landscape of Ireland (for me) and the mud filled lake used for healing near where my collaborator grew up in Russia (Kathie Halfin), we transformed mannequins into Earth Goddesses.

We stood in front of the alcove of the Salvation Army Building on 14th Street, in NYC and read from the inscription posted in large letters inside. A coincidence, a confluence, a bit of magic. “While women weep, as they do now, I'll fight While little children go hungry, as they do now, I'll fight While men go to prison, in and out, in and out, as they do now, I'll fight While there is a drunkard left, While there is a poor lost girl upon the streets, While there remains one dark soul without the light of God, I'll fight-I'll fight to the very end!” We changed God to Goddesses https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55b682f1e4b024165dbc9a42/1547761268087-0C3A0O8S6OLNP1BJ0FRQ/Screen+Shot+2019-01-17+at+4.40.47+PM.png Performance: Hell Hath No Fury https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55b682f1e4b024165dbc9a42/1569520209895-AQEQ3PM1S6A5V01BTXT6/Hell+Hath+No+Fury+2.jpg Performance: Hell Hath No Fury https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55b682f1e4b024165dbc9a42/1552441276698-0L0EEISJ0JAHNRM0O4J4/Screen+Shot+2019-03-12+at+9.10.31+PM.png Performance: Hell Hath No Fury During wakes in Ireland, there is a tradition of keening - a practice of public wailing, crying, calling out in grief . This is part of the healing process. Hearing others cry can be a trigger for release. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55b682f1e4b024165dbc9a42/1540302722379-0LNL22Q5YHVP4IUG4XU2/Screen+Shot+2018-10-23+at+9.43.20+AM.png Performance: Hell Hath No Fury A remembering, a conjuring as we stepped into the Goddesses that lived inside of us all along. We held a ceremony in a grove of Oak Trees, found along the route we traversed during our performance. Oak groves were the site of sacred Druid ceremonies. They chose these groves in reverence to their stature, strength, perseverance. The Oak can live for 300 years. Their mammoth size meant they caught the wind in their branches, which caused torque on their trunk. That torque caused thick, concentrated tannins to flow from the base of the tree. Druidic healers used this thick sap to heal wounds, which “miraculously” healed instantly. Oak leaves resemble hands, here hands were transformed from harmful to supportive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55b682f1e4b024165dbc9a42/1552362680073-EESBDYOE09Q7CEXVRJ1D/Screen+Shot+2019-03-05+at+4.56.17+PM.png Performance: Hell Hath No Fury We have fully stepped into our powerful Goddess selves, allowing ourselves to fully express our rage. This unabashed emotional outpouring is an essential element of Healing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55b682f1e4b024165dbc9a42/1552356568894-CP6JZ4ZHG0JZAH6PT7S7/Screen+Shot+2019-03-11+at+10.08.30+PM.png Performance: Hell Hath No Fury After each Smudge Stick cleansing ceremony, we gave participants their own Smudge Stick to take home with them so they could continue their healing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55b682f1e4b024165dbc9a42/1552363485848-CIY0T1YIQRMH3ZB45L3W/Screen+Shot+2019-03-11+at+11.37.05+PM.png Performance: Hell Hath No Fury Wild Woman. “Sometimes, madness seems like the only possible response to the insanity of the civilised world; sometimes, holding ourselves together is not an option, and the only way forwards is to allow ourselves to fall apart. As the story of Mis shows, that madness can represent an extreme form of initiation, a trigger for profound transformation.” Dr. Sharon Blackie, writer, psychologist, mythologist. If Women Rose Rooted https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55b682f1e4b024165dbc9a42/1552437469122-9Z9RH7VNPS8Y0XP0MFXQ/giving+smudge+to+woman+in+white.jpg Performance: Hell Hath No Fury After expressing our rage, we came to place of calm and acceptance. Stepping forward, knowing that we would be ok. We lit Smudge Sticks to cleanse ourselves and others of negativity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55b682f1e4b024165dbc9a42/1540302737497-9LWASQEPT9E4RKM0RPS9/Screen+Shot+2018-10-23+at+9.43.47+AM.png Performance: Hell Hath No Fury After our Smudging Ceremonies, we moved into ritualized dancing and singing - a symbol of release and recognition of our transformation. We then cleansed our faces with soil, a generative source, tying us to the landscape. This scrubbing removed the green hand marks from our face. The ceremony took place in front of a luxury condo building. An angry doorman told us to stop. We were in the middle of a joyful dance and ceremony, so we ignored him. In front of this building a man was ignored. So he called the police. And they came. One can only image what was said about us - “Crazy Women”, “Mad Women”. When the police approached us, one had his hand on his Taser and the other was donning gloves so she could use the Pepper Spray attached to her belt. They yelled at us to return and sweep up the soil that was left on the ground outside of the building. https://www.donnacleary.net/sculpture-2017-1 daily 0.75 2020-05-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55b682f1e4b024165dbc9a42/1550868327467-5K1Y3DP6SPKA8B16NI8K/Cleary_Donna_2.jpg Sculpture 2017 Is it possible to sense the weight of hanging masses? A 1950’s era stand mixer becomes body when perched on top of a vintage metal stool. The crocheted masses hanging from the mixer allude to the generative body, the maternal, the weight that accompanies the responsibility of caring for other living beings. The stand mixer alludes to a time in history where the “ideal” woman was sequestered in the home, confined to domestic activities. An entire industry was built around making her desire gadgets that would assist with housework. This stand mixer would have been coveted. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55b682f1e4b024165dbc9a42/1550868327467-5K1Y3DP6SPKA8B16NI8K/Cleary_Donna_2.jpg Sculpture 2017 Is it possible to sense the weight of hanging masses?

Based on miniature, Stone Age fertility sculptures found across the globe, these sculptures celebrate the ability to create life - a realm of life that was once revered and honored.
