Quintin Teszeri

Location: 22

Title: Untangling

Material: Recuperated metal

 

Quintin Teszeri is an artist and teacher whose work interweaves everyday insignificance and total uniqueness. With graduate degrees in art history, studio art, and teaching, his practice exists in a variety of forms. These have been presented by Nuit Blanche Toronto, Blackwood Gallery, Printed Matter Inc., and NoRoutine Books.

 

Artist Statement:

 

Untangling is made of recuperated metal from obsolete bag signs found in Burlington — the upside-down U’s wrapped in plastic advertising that visually and environmentally litter roadsides. The loosening knot features five continuous loops that never touch. It’s a material exercise in imagining more sustainable and meaningfully interconnected aesthetics.
