My work is focused on the relationship between humans and the natural world. This particular work explores the rising frequency and impact of natural disasters in our coastal communities. It is an imagined landscape meant to demonstrate how nature’s changing form unveils the complex dynamics between climate change and humanity. Through my work, I hope to convey the immensity of the transformative power of floods and fires and their implications on human life. I invite viewers to reflect on our responsibilities as outsiders looking in on an imagined home, without any strong human form to ground us.

Seb Evans is an emerging artist based on the unceded and traditional territories of the Coast Salish Peoples. Seb received his BFA from Concordia University in 2017 and has continued to develop a practice in drawing and print-based work which explores ideas surrounding belonging, identity, power, and history. His work has centred on labour and the relationship between the people, land, and communities where we live. His artworks become an archive that both re-interpret historical imagery and utilize present-day inspirations to explore stories of personal, national, and global identity through the lens of place.
