About the artwork:

Evie Homewood sees the landscape as a politicised and emotionally charged space. Her practice in experimental drawing, en plein-air observation, and sculpture activates site, time, and the body. Into the Hull 6 traces the shifting rhythms of tide, wind, swell, and coastline - mapping a marine environment that is both vast and fragile.
Using unconventional tools - builders chalk, electric sander, grinder, drill, and basalt cliff rock - Homewood draws through five lineal layers of black gesso, orange enamel, and white house paint. These physical marks speak to the energy and abrasion of imagined and contested borders.
As a mariner, Homewood reads the sea like others read the news - for signals, shifts, and survival. Her embodied line-making captures the tension and resilience of living within the witnessing of a landscape shaped by weather, memory, and extraction. These works are not illustrations - they are positions, not apologies.
