EXPLORING THE BIGGER PICTURE

Jason Quigno

Sculptor

Jason Quigno is one of the most prominent sculptors living in the Midwest today. Carving for hours each day to shape each stone, Jason’s work often draws upon his Anishinaabe heritage and the contemporary abstractions that are inspired by the land and nature.

I’ve known Jason for quite a long time, but neither of us can remember when we first met. That’s a good thing. I’ve always loved dropping by Jason’s studio to make some portraits in his incredible studio…plus we always enjoy smoking a cigar together. That usually means I’ve had a great afternoon just talking about anything and everything with Jason.

This conversation reveals the underpinnings of his work, his “wild child” life as a former addict, and the success he enjoys today creating monumental works in stone.
