Jil Evans Studio Store

These paintings were made before and during the lock-down March, 2020. Evans noticed the brush strokes to build the paintings carried “small trembles” into the images. An apt visual metaphor for the beginning of our collective experiences of 2020.

Continuing the exploration of the plant life at Quaking Bog, Evans uses disparate elements to build a new world, leading to surprising relationships. Through collage, she explores endless possibilities between these seemingly discordant pieces to materialize wholeness.

In this collage series, Evans creates intimate worlds where collisions of pure color, snippets of her flood water photographs, and the light of the paper form delicate connections that are just barely holding.
