Quinn Chen

Bio

Quinn Chen (they/them) grew up surrounded by the rocky cliffs, abalone shells, and cold rolling fog of Ohlone land in the California Bay Area. Their mother taught them how to sew as a child, an experience that lends their sartorial practice a playful and dreamy sensibility. Their interdisciplinary artistic practice often involves clothing making, sculpture, performance arts, writing, among others. Their work is influenced heavily by friends and lovers, ancestry and ghosts, as well as a desire to create work away from extractive art institutions.

They currently live in Ridgewood, Queens, and work for the arts nonprofit yáo collaborative in their time away from The Noguchi Museum.

Statement

This work deals with mental health, perseverance and how creativity can flourish in the wake of destruction/ collapse. Something awful can lead to something revelatory and vice versa.
