In conjunction with her works in Herman’s upcoming auction and exhibition, Deorad, we meet with artist Carmen Quigley to discuss her practice, her most treasured objects, and the influences informing her work.
 
Intricate and carefully delineated, the imaginative compositions of Quigley overflow and teem with life. She knots her figures into complex arrangements, surrounded by creatures and invented mythical beings. Natural forms are central to her practice – she is fascinated by the breathing sea, the undergrowth of woodlands, the precedent of the ancient and its echoes in our everyday encounters with the modern world.
