About Me
- Rachel Evans
- My practice is centered equally around drawing and painting, in particular the process of making the work, however, my current practice concentrates on drawing. I am interested in the actual physical act and action of mark making which demands direct body action. My drawings are the products of these actions of my body in extension documenting the physical movements of my body and my body's dimensions. Working on large scale paper with graphite I draw and record my body's physical actions through natural, energetic gestures that are repetitive and may become quite automated. These gestural actions requiring complete concentration and also generate sounds and therefore have developed into performance. Each drawing "catches" a moment in time and is different from any other being influenced by the preparations, materials used and the state of mind at the moment of creation like that of Asian art and Zen Drawing.
