EVANGELINE MORRIS
Evangeline Morris is a visual Artist who uses languages of print and drawing to explore a contemporary relationship with landscape, its histories and modern day interactions with it. Her research into the liminal archives of land is concerned with creating a unique understanding of place, created from physical journeys that become extrapolated in memory by connections to times and places in personal history.

"Landscape forms the base to everything that humans have developed society on, as religion, ritual, a means of life and a source of shelter, but as such has also become a commodity. Used as a political tool its relationship with art extends far beyond the sublime. Mapping changes its face and removes its uniqueness. Industry plots its potential and harvests its assets leaving its residue behind.
Land has the ability to hold and contain within it all of this in its memory, compacted between silt and sediment revealing itself in the broken down elemental traces in colour like ochres, or items retrieved by its own actions."
