Amy Evans

Statement

Amy Evans is a multidisciplinary artist and architect whose work focuses on topics relating to the city. She works in sculpture, painting, installation, architecture, and education.

Amy’s work examines the relationship between the social and urban fabric of cities. Her research looks at cataloguing, extracting, and distilling information about the city to better understand this relationship – exploring issues such as density, light, and fluctuating urban conditions.

Through her work as a teacher at various universities, Amy has developed an interest in the ways in which architectural concepts can be translated into art.

The City Shaped_Berlin will continue exploring these concepts in the context of Berlin.

GlogauAIR Project

The City Shaped_Berlin is part of a larger project entitled The City Shaped, which explores the relationship between architecture, culture, and the urban environment of various cities. The City Shaped_Berlin takes the city of Berlin as its subject, looking to unpack the formal language of the city’s urban and social fabric through an analysis of both built forms, and the cultural and political landscapes throughout history. A series of 2D works, ceramic sculptures, and installations will form an abstract representation of Berlin; its history, its evolution, and its contemporary conditions.
