“I like painting on fabric. I like sticking. I like painting. I like gluing. I like red and greens. Paints like blue. And purple. Black. I like masking tape on the board. I want people to look at my artwork and feel happy.” - Emma Evans

Part of a series exploring layered masking tape on painted surfaces, this work reveals the underpainting as tape is removed. Evans combines expressive mark-making with carefully chosen colour to create atmospheric, blended backgrounds. The process highlights the tactile, sensory qualities of paint, celebrating the unpredictability of layering and revealing, capturing experimentation and discovery.
