The series Aqua Alta ("high water") are abstract paintings based on observation of a flooded river moving throughout a woodland in Minnesota. Evans' is drawn to the movement of light, reflections on water disordered by what lies underneath, and the premonitions of metamorphosis perceptible in natural structures. In the way that sound, rhythm, and breath physically build compression and express feeling in a lyric poem, Evans' uses contrasting color and spatial depths, a wide range of marks, gestures, and the physicality of paint- from sheer washes to thick impasto - to suggest the way intimacy, alienation, struggle, and freedom exist in the psyche always in a constant state of flux.
