Evie Yussuf is an artist based in Kent and London.

Evie is interested in the idea of life as a philosophical concept. Her work is situated in the state of suspended vitality, the in-between of life and death. Through sculpture and painting, she explores the unknown as it relates to the microscopic, the imagined and the ephemeral. 

The strange, inhuman or animalistic are ideas that Evie often uses in her work to demonstrate how we relate to life in a technological and ecological era in which life as a concept becomes more difficult to define. Evie’s work interrogates recent rulings on reproductive rights relating to termination and discusses gender rights as a catalyst for contemporary, feminist ideology. 

Bodily autonomy, medical trauma and the gendered expectations of reproduction within society are subjects that Evie often explores through embodied and domestic practices and techniques. These repetitive forms of making become a method of thinking that allows the intangible to be brought into a physical existence.
