Victoria Evans is a contemporary artist with a background in the film and television industries. She graduated with a Masters Degree in Fine Art Practice (Sculpture) from Glasgow School of Art in 2015 and is currently conducting part-time SGSAH/AHRC funded, practice-based PhD research at Edinburgh College of Art. Victoria’s artwork has been exhibited widely in Scotland and further afield; her writing has been published in a peer reviewed journal and several online art platforms; she has been awarded grants, commissions and residencies from: Hospitalfield in Arbroath; SNEHTA in Athens; VACMA in Glasgow, Design Informatics in Edinburgh; Creative Informatics in Edinburgh, and LUX Scotland and BBC Arts (UK). Victoria was recently commissioned by the Xunta da Galicia to make work for a survey exhibition on movement in art, in Santiago de Compostela, Spain.

Victoria’s Practice-based PhD research asks what alternative ways of knowing might become possible through attuning our senses to the world of sound. Engaging with science and philosophy, she works speculatively across a variety of media, including film, sound composition, creative writing, print and digital, to explore sound as a material, trans-corporeal agent of connection, that resonates across more-than-human scales, and whispers of invisible ecologies of perception.
