Nathaniel Mary Quinn is famous for composite portraits that resemble cut-and-paste collage but are rendered entirely by hand in charcoal, gouache, and oil pastel. Piecing together disparate facial features sourced from family albums, fashion magazines, and comic strips, Quinn reflects on human trauma, psychological empathy, and personal survival in Chicago's South Side.
