Artist Statment for 'POPUP MOCKUP OUTSIDE INSIDE'

Geraint Evans ‘Killing Young’

Geraint Evans draws from a childhood memory of shaking a tree until the contents of an unnoticed nest falls to the ground. All eggs were destroyed, revealing newly terminated chick foetus’. This work explores the catastrophes that destroy childhood innocence and unveil ones mortality; a sublime experience that stays with us forever. Evans is a voyeur of his memory, plucking this scene from within to capture and hold this moment of learning, consequence, power and helplessness.
