Evah Fan – Creepy Crawler

There are many still moments in my work that are wrongly familiar. A man with a box beneath his shirt could have been drumming on his chest or just ran out of a market. A young girl  reaching inside the box only to find scallions? What happens next? Whatever ideas came to mind during the last few months were put forth. They suited the title Come What May and did not follow any strict process. I followed a stream of consciousness that led me to a few mini series. Works depicting reactions from potential threats, landscapes inspired from Stockholm alongside paintings about the senses. The imagined tension between figures and events are usually awkward to ignite a certain narrative that lingers unpredictability. I wonder what has happened or what will happen from each scenario.” – Evah Fan
