From Conduit Gallery:
“As a recent immigrant to the US from Italy, Querin has found himself in a life of constant change and adaptation. As an artist, he has long been intrigued by actions that can be controlled in the face of unpredictability. This control is manifest in the fragility, tension, elasticity, and equilibrium of his fiber‐ based creations. Through very precise execution, Querin brings strands of wool, alpaca, cotton and synthetic fibers to life and tells a story that has a clear beginning and end. “Long ago I taught myself an elementary way to control time ‐ blink once to pause my life, and blink again to restart it. It was a simple escape mechanism permitting me to avoid pain. My blinking method evolved, and I started to actually focus on each slice of time itself, rather than on what may have happened before or might happen after them. This show is about the intentional destruction of thoughts that don’t serve me and the simultaneous embrace of the ones that do.”
