Pam Evelyn began working on Between Mind and Land during an artist’s residency in Newlyn, Cornwall. She greatly enjoyed the etching process, particularly the use of carborundum; a grit which is applied to the etching plate creating richly textured works, and resulting in deep colours.

Evelyn describes herself as a landscape artist, “but where the landscape might more accurately be described as a “mindscape”: the outcome of being removed from any direct subject.” Evelyn’s time in Newlyn provided a contrast to her London studio, and her work during this period translates the energy of the surrounding wildlife.
