The series Breaking Light (oil on canvas), now over fifty abstract paintings and drawings, begins in the observation of the Cannon River flood in Minnesota in 2010. The river’s flooded banks in the Northfield Arboretum dramatically changed the local landscape and environment. Evans interprets the broken and altered landscape through the light and color of abstract painting, inviting the viewer to experience the volatility of tensions and resolutions that have an echo in our subjective experience. (2010-2017)
