‘The scanner has become another camera to me. Each piece is part of a greater ponderous whole, ever in a process of forming and deforming.’ ⠀⠀⠀ Brooklyn-based artist Eileen Quinlan (@Quinlan Eileen)'s desktop scanner works are made by sliding materials – mostly elements from the photo studio, such as gels, mirrors, screens, plexiglass, fabric, and other flotsam – across a flatbed during the capturing process. The scanner has a rigid logic of recording, slowly, from top to bottom and can only ‘see’ a short distance before falling into blackness. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Currently on view in @MiguelAbreuGallery's virtual booth, ‘Walking with Fire’ was titled after the games the artist's son plays and other references to digital culture. These two UV prints represent the ‘screen world’ we face with a mixture of both wonder and horror. — #artbaselOVR remains live until June 26th.
