About
Erin McQuarrie is an artist and designer who believes ancient methods of making provide an innovative means of interpreting and responding to contemporary life. She uses natural dyeing, deadstock yarns, hand spinning and found objects to construct her sculptural tapestries. The language of warp and weft is her slow and intentional vocabulary providing an antithesis to our wasteful consumerist society.
Erin has a BA in Textiles from The Glasgow School of Art (2018) and an MFA in Textiles from Parsons School of Design, NYC, which she completed on a Fulbright scholarship (2021). Her work has been exhibited widely including Jane Lombard Gallery, Mana Contemporary, Dovecot Studios, RSA, L’Space Gallery and NYPL. Glasgow is Erin’s hometown where she is currently a lecturer in Textiles at The Glasgow School of Art.
