TO INFINITY AND OAK PARK
McQuillen, a Chicago-based Studio Artist, partnered with Cushing to bring astronomical art to a residential neighborhood in Oak Park. Night House is made up of images McQuillen created from Hubble telescope photos. Cushing printed these stellar images on styrene and wrapped them around a two-story home.
“VALERIE WAS FANTASTIC: ATTENTIVE, PROMPT, AND VERY FLEXIBLE. SHE NAVIGATED THE MATERIAL CHOICES VERY WELL, AND ULTIMATELY HELPED ME FIND THE BEST MATERIAL FOR THE PROJECT. I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT MY EXPERIENCE WORKING WITH HER...EVERYTHING TURNED OUT BETTER THAN EXPECTED!”

OUT OF THIS WORLD
This celestial project is part of an even larger transcontinental effort called The Terrain Biennial, whose purpose is to have artists bring art to the front yards of neighborhoods around the world. McQuillen worked with a curator and professor named Claudine Ise, who offered up her home for the project. The rest is infinity … oops, history.
“THE FOLKS AT CUSHING MET MY PROJECT WITH A LOT OF ENTHUSIASM AND AN OPEN MIND, WHICH MADE ME FEEL REALLY COMFORTABLE FROM THE OUTSET. THEY WORKED WITH ME TO KEEP THE PROJECT WITHIN MY BUDGET, AND WERE VERY IN-TUNE WITH MY SPECIFIC NEEDS.”
