Exhibition Curatorial Statement
I'd like to see/ be involved in an exhibition exploring process based work and maybe aiming towards a minimalist almost empty looking gallery. I enjoy work that you really need to get close to and possibly even touch to take in every little detail. I'd really like to work with more painters but I'm also not ruling out a drop of sculpture or installation. I really like the idea of a quite regimented black and white gallery space. Wouldn't really know what subject matter I'd be after, I'm open to discussion/ collaboration.
My work takes inspiration from contour lines and mapping mountains. There are elements of optical illusion that have become prominent themes throughout my work, which combine well with the exploration of natural forms.
Individual Artistic Statement
Eve is an artist with focus on the natural form. She works with images of the environment to create work that reflects natural textures in a man made medium, combining nature and paint to create complex line drawings. Her work has been inspired by the Op Art movement, artists such as Bridget Riley and her love of maps. Her fascination with contour lines has lead her to where she is today, taking inspiration from the lay of the land and the highest mountains in the world.
Eve's work is black and white, which is derived from her love of monochrome in both fashion and art. Her mountain pieces are a progression from older works, which took inspiration from Jen Stark and Noriko Ambe.

Eve was born in York and moved to Sheffield at an early age. She was a very shy and quiet young child, finding comfort in drawing and painting on her own. As she progressed through to secondary school, her creative abilities became more refined and she was encouraged to continue down the path of most art. Her hard work soon paid off, resulted in a Foundation Diploma in Art & Design and a place at Sheffield Hallam University. She is now studying for a degree in Fine Art and continues to be shy and quiet.
