Evy Jokhova

Evy Jokhova is a multi disciplinary artist whose practice engages with dialogue and relationships between Social anthropology, Architecture, Philosophy and Art. Working with drawing, painting, installation, photography, film and participatory events, Jokhova aims to bridge gaps between these fields and their inherent hierarchical structures creating work in the context of interdisciplinary research projects. Her practice is research driven by investigations into relationships between things, the creation of social systems, and how social behaviour can be altered through architectural construction, with reference to the post-Cartesian ontological question of being in space (M. Heidegger, J-L. Nancy, Ian James, M. Foucault) and the relationship between building, body and mind (Bertrand Russell, Bill Hillier, Vitruvius).

Engaging with the everyday as well as possible and impossible futures, Jokhova surveys the disparity between plan and reality using a paired down aesthetic of a muted palette, creating sculptural objects of an ambiguous materiality, drawing into landscape and architectural space.
