ARTIST’S STATEMENT
In Phyllis Ewen’s Sculptural Drawings, water becomes a metaphor for a life force that resists being controlled. Through a focus on water’s cultural and social history, she looks at issues of fertility and drought, abundance and scarcity, turbulence and quiet.
Ewen builds 3-dimensional topographies through layering, altering, and reshaping archival paper. Beginning with scanned charts, maps and photos digitally printed, she adds paint and text, creating transformed landscapes. Life-giving waterways have been contested, diverted, polluted, and exhausted by human intervention. In her series, Thinking Like a River and Northern Waters, she explores ways in which our imagination and memory interact with our altered natural world.
