WHEN I’M NOT AROUND
A Collection of Work by NAC Member
Quinn Oberlein
Flea Market Gallery

Sundays 9am-4pm
When I’m Not Around is a multimedia collection of pieces from 2019-2023 that explore the artists’ intrapersonal reflections on the desire for solitude and the tangibility of grief. The theme of these works is a longing to understand and navigate these aforementioned feelings, this is conflicted with the fear of actualizing them. There is a reservoir of emotions and memories that remain untouched, isolated within the psyche. When I’m Not Around offers a glimpse into this peculiar space.
Quinn Oberlein is an interdisciplinary artist living in St. Catharines, Ontario.

She often times combimes these mediums in her work, exploring the possibilities of what can be created.
