Susan Evans
Artist Statement
Inspired by passages in the Kalevala, (the epic poem of Finland) and the polar expedition journals of Issac Isreal Hayes, this is a lens-based origin narrative where I am the hero exploring my ancestral connection to the natural world. These images represent the moments in between the cantos…in the “midst” of a much larger epic tale. The imaginative power of oral tradition has been translated into the visual structure of the narrative photographic image, one devoid of realism.
