Daniel Evans: TURGOR

The Art Incubator Gallery . October 5 - November 25, 2017 Daniel Evans an Edmonton-based mixed media artist, explores questions of narrative and mythmaking in both historical and contemporary contexts. Daniel is particularly drawn to thresholds and liminal spaces: locations and events existing in between or outside of conventional borders, where transformation and change occur.

The process of myth-making, of creating allegorical narratives that encapsulate a culture's belief and value system, is an ongoing enterprise. Daniel's work re-interprets the structure, tropes, and language of myth, fairytale, and folklore to deconstruct and challenge the entrenched hegemonies of both classical and contemporary mythologies.
