Emily Quandahl Artist Talk Eiderdown

Emily Quandahl is a painter and mixed-media artist based in Minneapolis, MN. Her current show "Eiderdown" in the James Wegner Gallery at Riverland Community College features visually sumptuous paintings created with staining and paint pour techniques as well as hand stitching. Her compositions utilize bold palettes and textures, starting intuitively on the floor with a base of diluted acrylics. From there, she draws from experience and impressions of her life through an abstract lens to build up layers until a balance is found. Eiderdown is her homage to quilting, mending, and other aspects of feminine labor in the home. In this artist talk that was recorded live Thursday, July 18, 2024, Quandahl talks about her work and answers audience questions.
