Maja Quille.

I specialise in site-specific public artworks and have permanent sculptures installed in prominent locations, including Musselburgh City Centre, Hazlehead Park, Aberdeen and Royal Observatory Edinburgh.

My work examines the overlooked and undervalued; domesticity, the idea of waste or inferior materials and how materials and objects are shaped by their historical, cultural and political context. I have a strong interest in the intersection between art and science, particularly looking at the edges, the places where discourse and disciplines overlap.

Many of my projects are developed through collaborations and dialogues with other professions and institutions such as physicists from CERN, Geneva; chemists, engineers and mathematicians from University of Edinburgh, archaeologists from Museum of London Archaeology and Soil Scientists from Cranfield University.
