Origin 011 | Introduction
My name is Paul Evans and I am a visual artist based in Sheffield, UK.
My practice encompasses a variety of creative strategies including drawing, painting and animation. I use these to explore the complex field of relationships that exists between human beings and the natural world. I often work collaboratively, in series, or through installations and web sites that create connections between apparently disparate elements; my aim is to make subtle adjustments to – or at least quietly challenge – the prevailing anthropocentric world view.
Origin 011 is a continuation of the work that I have created for two previous projects Origin 09 and Origin 010.
Documentation of this body of work can be viewed at:

Origin 011 will have a variety of outputs.
The first – a commission for Museums Sheffield – will be completed in January 2012. This will be a life-sized drawing of a killer whale which will feature as part of the ‘Under the Sea’ exhibition curated by Rowena Hamilton.
The second, provisionally entitled ‘The Beast Within’ will consist of a series of large (1.5m x 1.5m) drawings of intestinal parasites that will be exhibited at Manchester Museum in 2012.
Details of further project outputs – including a series of new collaborations with poets and designers – will be posted as the project develops.
