Artist Statement for Denise Evans

Nature and dreams have always been at the heart of my artwork, and it has been the human experience, that rests below our reality, I have sought to provide a visual voice to within my work.
From early on I became fascinated by dreams and how their visceral symbolism underlay our reality. The imagery of dreams seemed to whisper words of wisdom on navigating our waking reality, and I wanted to understand more of the two worlds which existed simultaneously in our lives.
Nature's landscapes were within my dreams, and my artwork became more focused in exploring the internal domains our souls journey, as they seek understanding to our reality above.
My work has been about bringing a visual voice to those internal landscapes of the heart, to freeze an emotional landscape in time, so we can look and understand more.
My Imagery
Nature in its many forms, from powerful seas and their corrosive nature, to buried elements unearthed, guide my means of expression, as I bring voice to emotional landscapes within my artworks.
The more I came to understand the importance of listening to dreams and exploring their internal landscapes, the more I was compelled to journey alone through nature. I wanted to explore first-hand the lessons and wisdoms nature was expressing to me, which were echoing within my soul.
During my naïve and often perilous journeys through natures landscapes, I have pushed myself to go further than I should, and challenged myself to reach where it is I am being drawn. Each journey where I pushed myself further than I thought I could ever go, I returned with a new natures lesson burnished within me.
Nature spoke of the ebbs and flows, it spoke of erosion and change, and spoke of an ability to survive and adapt. Our own internal erosions speak not of destruction, but of change and adaptation to life's circumstances as they occur.
My imagery has sought to marry an internal emotional landscape with the wisdoms nature itself provides.
