Born from simplicity and meticulously crafted, Lindsay Evans'
sculptures convey a sense of natural power and resonance.
His various wall-hung triptychs, created in an array of
different timbers, are an abstraction of the Dallan, a traditional
Gaelic boundary marker, in which Evans presents the boundary marker
as signifying not only geographical, but also temporal
limitations.
While intrinsically primal, Evans' works also carry with them
the intentional marks of human contact, whether via their
inclusion of burnished copper and blackened timber, or their
internal routing that suggests the hand of the artist. In this way,
Evans' sculptures create an immediate juxtaposition between the
natural and the crafted that speaks ultimately of the precarious
co-existence between the natural and the man-made in the modern
world.
