Evie Mulhern is a Computer Science and Studio Art double major at Davidson College, originally from Alexandria, VA. Most recently, she has explored mixed media pieces with fine art paper, canvas, glitter, and acrylic paints. Evie is a printmaker and digital artist at heart, so pulling inspirations from the physical world into the digital realm and back out again is integral to her present practice. Evie’s process, with methodical and consistent steps, is a way to combat stress and anxiety that seeps into her personal life.
Artist Statement:
My current work explores ways to harness my anxieties, personified through small artistic elements I have dubbed “confettis”. These confettis are made up of a simple brushstroke with white sandwiched between two colors to create a tiny, sprinkle-like gradient. Their role is fluid in my work–sometimes the confettis are slices of myself, sometimes they are the embodiment of my anxiety. Navigating through architectural and shadow forms, the confettis cluster and hide, having personalities of their own. I view these building systems as a structural representation of my mind–a playground of sorts for the confettis. I like to envision this mind-world as very discrete or abstract, and even in a dream, ethereal state.
