Artist Spotlight: Stacey Evans In our Artist Spotlight series, we have been bringing you a closer look at the artists in our Inside the Artist’s Studio exhibition! In our final installment, we’ve talked with Stacey Evans all about her creative process, her experience with preparing for the exhibition, and of course, her studio. How would you describe your creative process? I move quickly between space using the camera to collect data from the passing environment. My work is about the constructed landscape. Whether I am shooting through a window or standing in the studio, I am interested in how humans shape their space to fulfill their desires. Not knowing that exact desire, ambiguity plays a significant role in my process. How do pieces change from the studio to the gallery? It’s like preparing to go out; they clean up then are presented in a lovely space with good lighting. What is your most important tool/something you could not live without in your studio? Paper & pencil. Photograph by Stacey Evans
