Quinha Faria (b. Campinas, Brazil, 1988) is an artist based in Philadelphia, PA. Largely informed by her role as an ER nurse, her work examines the shape and care of human bodies. Quinha uses traditional tailoring techniques that she learned as a student of Larnell Baldwin to create various types of bags, boxes, garments, and cases. These “packages” are deliberate artifacts of an era marked by disposability.
