He explores human connection to unseen forces, kinship with the more-than-human, and the shifting terrains of sexuality and humanness. Cultural beliefs, ancestral spirits, natural phenomena, and changes of state all act as agents shaping perception and experience.
Evenett works in series across painting, drawing, and expanded processes. Projects have included automatic sound drawings of brooks and birds, translating nonhuman rhythms into human gesture, and paintings that explore sexuality through elemental imagery, where waterfalls and volcanoes become sites of intensity, fluidity, and transformation. Across these approaches, material engagement is integral — processes generate their own momentum, producing forms and gestures with raw immediacy and fluid movement that carry atmospheric and enigmatic qualities.
He is currently developing a new series of paintings reworked over time, where surfaces accumulate as an archaeology of thought. Each painting evolves through cycles of layering, erasure, and revision, becoming a record of detangling — a process in which forms shift and reconfigure, exposing the act of working-out as central to the practice itself. Alongside this, he is constructing a body of artefacts that take the form of imaginary shrines and totemic structures, exploring how material assemblages might hold presence, ritual, or symbolic weight.
