About The Artwork

You have the wings to take flight. Often referred to as a Little Muttonbird or Mourningbird, the Wedge-tailed shearwater (Ardenna Pacifica) is from the Procellariidae seabird family. A body length of 46-47 cm and a wing span of 97-99 cm the species has two colour morphs, dark and pale. These species are common in the areas of the Indian Ocean, the Coral Sea and the Tasman Sea. ARTIST STATEMENT When one starts from scratch, one may not see or even imagine in great detail where that path will lead, what is next to encounter, witness or entail. In that unscripted moment of stepping into the unknown can one perceive the possibility of variation, a pivot that with no doubt constructs a new and different storyline. This photographic series came about after capturing various landscapes and streetscapes travelling to Canada, China, England, France, Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore and locally through country Victoria and Sydney in 2017. Then the entire year of content was lost when the hard drive these 30,000 files stored upon failed. Due to the unknown variables in file recovery the decision was made to start from scratch, providing the opportunity to present a technique, style and storytelling attributes with a new and tightly considered selection. In late 2017 and early 2018 ‘From Scratch’ was realised. THE SERIES ‘From Scratch’ is a series of 16 black and white digital photographs that construct a narrative moving across several vantage points capturing some of Australia’s coastlines. Evan’s work explores texture, light and tone to quietly and softly imbue the surrounds of contrasting forms and silhouettes across stretches of differing terrain. The variation of high contrasts sitting against subtly infused mid tones allows the natural details to creep in effortlessly and echo a mood that is soothing, creating a continuous synergy in the presence of commotion and occupancy. Each edition is printed on Baryta Photographique 310gsm accompanied with a signed and numbered Certificate of Authenticity.

The work of Melbourne, Australia-based Evan Hancock reflects escapism and illusion conveying a continual fascinating quality across landscapes. His expression utilizes the medium of photography offering a style of documentation meets fine art by referencing classic and timeless portrayals of composition, light and tone. This style is further enhanced in print form with the use of a photographic stock resonate to the results of classic darkroom processing. Evan Hancock’s aim is to draw on his initial feelings and memories of this manual development which allows for the enrichment of deep blacks for contrast yet merge with subtle diffusions and a softening effect of varying mid tones in print form. His latest body of work ‘Light. Ash. White’ is reflective of this emerging trait where he manages to capture the real world amongst naturally surreal compositions steeped with history. The series is ultimately a consideration of his innate vision and the pre-conceiving of feelings matched with his technical tools that derives the outcome. Inevitably it is these ideas and workings that has pushed those outcomes to expose pattern and texture, where imagery is reflective of brush strokes in paintings to lithographs and etchings. His professional experience has explored motion graphic design on small and large format projects across Australia and internationally revealing his innovation and capacity to integrate screen, interactive and experiential across advertising. Utilizing exposure to these formats allows Evan to articulate his storytelling qualities into the medium of photography.
