Krystle Evans

Krystle Evans - “The Art of Broken Hill: Traditional to Contemporary” group exhibition at Parliament House

Krystle Evans is a Barkandji woman who returned home to Country four years ago. Contemporary Aboriginal works of a confessional & feminist nature are painted, sewn & adorned with found objects and diaristic text fragments. Krystle’s work is a paradigm of traditional Aboriginal Art, storytelling and contemporary themes to create new narratives. An ever-present theme to Evans’ body of work is the inclusion of honest fragments of text that suffice as a window into the artist’s life & experiences, both personal and universal. Evans’ art is part of a thriving contemporary art scene influenced by traditional Aboriginal storytelling and art practices.
