ABOUT THE ARTIST
Quinn’s works is largely constructed of industrial materials, such as aluminium, various patinas, auto paints and sealants.
The work bridges the gap between the industrial and the natural world. Her work seems to have a Jurassic quality to it, with the appearance of plant like botanical forms, almost primordial species.
