About:
Using brown paper as her main material, Mary Evans’ evocative site-specific installations reflect on the impact of tragic and brutal moments in history. Her cut-out silhouettes build on the classical tradition of portraiture to question ideas around representation, cultural change and globalisation.
Thousands are sailing (installation), 2016.
