encounters is a curated collection of interviews between curator Aliya Prichard-Casey and artist Lilian Evans, delving into the creative processes and thematic explorations within their collaborative exhibition, a place in my heart. Through these dialogues, Prichard-Casey and Evans traverse the intersections of personal memory, spatial belonging, and emotional resonance that shape Evans’ works. The manuscript captures their collaborative journey, shedding light on the intimate and multifaceted narratives that arise when art becomes a vessel for connection, reflection, and shared experience. Interspersed with flippant comments, emotionally driven responses, and tangential anecdotes, this publication shall read as a mind thinks, or perhaps, as a heart feels; a rollercoaster, perpetually shifting, always in flux.
These conversations and their content come from, and retain, a place in our hearts, one which we welcome you to navigate as we did.
