Exhibition

A recent graduate of the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design, Scott Evans exhibited sculptures created over the last year. Evans produced a number of works which fetishistically combine small toys and children’s playthings – dolls, motorized cars, models – into large scale assemblage works which were then painted and physically anthropomorphized. The works he produced for the Or Gallery continued this theme but were developed through the addition of natural found materials: moss, lichens, twigs and other detritus found near his home on the outskirts of Vancouver. The formal disjunction combines the mass produced and abjectified children’s commodities with materials normally associated with a rural folk art ready made.
