The pill bottles have neon orange, gel pen bodies and penciled outlines for tops. The top section of the drawing has the pill bottles squished together and they slowly disperse as they rain down on the page. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be863c63e2d09221142d0ac/1702341978563-R88FVTYPXFFBM3UN2LQU/%3C3edited20231207_110306.jpg Portfolio In the corner of a white room with a grey floor is a pile of brightly covered pillows. The pillows prominently feature neon green but range in color. The pillows are blob-like in shape and feature phrases such as “IT IS WHAT IT IS” and “IT’S FINE WE’RE FINE WE’RE ALL FINE.” Hidden amongst the pillowS is the artist laying on the floor she stares into the camera through her black cat eye glasses. Her lime green dress and neon pink glossy boots fade into the pillows. Above the pile hangs an oddly shaped black piece of fabric that shouts in a slanted text “I AM NOT YOUR LEARNING OPPORTUNITY.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be863c63e2d09221142d0ac/1702342106038-DRATFJMDHCL9OLW84X0Y/editIMG_3191.jpg Portfolio A detail shot of a faux billboard features the artist– a white brunette woman– asleep in bed. She is wearing a white shirt and her bed spread is navy with green polka dots. The polka dots on the bed are covered with tiny hand placed green rhinestones. Additionally, the artist’s mouth is covered in red rhinestones. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be863c63e2d09221142d0ac/1702342165985-AEUO7NM63OE1AL27E3FW/editIMG_2845.jpg Portfolio A rectangular, fish tank like display case is overloaded with two dimensional and three dimensional text-based art work. The text matches the artist’s handwriting so it is bold and sloppy. Most of the imagery is of hastily done water color sketches of foam fingers with negative phrases on them like “couch potato.” In the center of the display case is a latex and sequin sale sign advertising a $19.95 sale for a traumatizing experience. Hidden in the display case is a tiny photo of the artist’s white dog whose eyes are popping out of his head because he is afraid of going to the vet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be863c63e2d09221142d0ac/1702342421217-F46M5TP9DTAAS9C097F1/editIMG_3340.jpg Portfolio A detail image of a bright, multicolored quilt with a triangular motif hangs. Some of the fabric is melted revealing another bright fabric underneath. They are connected by sloppy stitches. In the corner of some of the triangles are white sequins stitched on with clear beads. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be863c63e2d09221142d0ac/1702342483083-Y18A55ZXLY591A82RPCT/IMG_1311.jpg Portfolio A single watercolor sketch on white paper features a quick drawing of a foam finger that reads "UNWELL AS HELL.” It is mostly kelly green in color but also features a royal blue outline which helps define the shape of the foam finger. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be863c63e2d09221142d0ac/1702342562749-8HEDT5HYA5QANFE1ETFT/IMG_0595.jpeg Portfolio The artist, a white woman in a lime green wool dress and bright pink boots, lays under a seven foot tall soft sculpture Pineapple arch. The Pineapple arch is reminiscent of a toy from a fish tank. Surrounding the Pineapple on the floor are large scale turquoise spandex aquarium pebbles. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be863c63e2d09221142d0ac/1702342711996-CZHFQ1UYT2P1NZM7T7QY/crop.jpg Portfolio A close up image of pale pink faux satin stitched together in a sloppy manner. The image centers a corner implying some sort of cube-like, rectilinear form. Along the top and bottom edges of the cube-like shape is piping with machine embroidery repeating the phrase “couch potato” in blue, pink, and green thread. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be863c63e2d09221142d0ac/1702343814316-TBO887XQD4VRR7H0LSU1/editIMG_8841.jpg Portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be863c63e2d09221142d0ac/1702342772939-0T1QG76B4167M4VHEWSL/editIMG_6904.jpg Portfolio Hanging on a white wall is an icy light blue, text-based soft sculpture. In all capital letters the sculpture reads, “TOMORROW WILL BE BETTER.” The letters in each word are sewn together and are hanging in an off-kilter way that makes it seem like the sculpture is both levitating on the wall and falling off the wall. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be863c63e2d09221142d0ac/1702342877478-MTLXLG1AJ6DX6TMHKOZ7/editIMG_6843.jpg Portfolio In an aerial-like view, we see the artist laying on a tiny grey couch. Her eyes, under her black cat eye glasses are closed and her white sneakers are poking out beneath a home-made quilt-blanket hybrid. The quilt-blanket hybrid is a blank calendar with a green top, navy blue grid, navy blue embroidered lettering, and red handwritten text in flannel fabric. The artist’s sloppy script across the entire calendar reveals the artist’s plans– “Plans are for the healthy.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be863c63e2d09221142d0ac/1702342917320-DOAY8N44F3K1L5I8CG76/editIMG_6711.jpg Portfolio Laying against a white wall and sitting on a grey concrete floor are three soft sculpture roadsigns. Their long soft sculpture, grey, and tubular posts twist and fold together. The first sign is yellow and black and features a pedestrian walking toward a bed. The second sign is white and black and reads “NO SLEEP LIMIT.” The third sign is a stop that reads “STOP EXHAUSTION AHEAD.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be863c63e2d09221142d0ac/1702342964465-TTH2GC4RDUKO977W79EK/editIMG_6559.jpg Portfolio On a white background is a fuzzy black tote bag with upright top handles. In bold white letters, the front of the bag says “TOO MUCH BAGGAGE.” Peaking through the handles, some of the inside of the bag is visible revealing the phrase “bad memory.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be863c63e2d09221142d0ac/1702343087464-ROLF9TVJ31BBCCZC0JXC/editIMG_3868.jpg Portfolio Sitting on a grey floor is a large scale digital alarm clock made of soft black fabric, white nylon, black, nylon, and hand embroidery. In red, the clock’s time shows 10:00 AM. There is a large fabric cord and plug revealed behind the clock. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be863c63e2d09221142d0ac/1702343167939-K22HLT8CZIOWO5ATZ3NK/Libby_Evan_01.jpg Portfolio Four fluorescent neon orange nylon soft sculpture pill bottles stand on a grey concrete floor. The puffy pill bottles lean awkwardly and have custom cotton labels. Each bottle represents a symptom of the artist’s chronic illness experience: lifetime of chronic exhaustion, brain fog, looking good but feeling bad, and chronic pain. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be863c63e2d09221142d0ac/1702343235087-DMQFK328X3VHMZHCW7LM/4_Evan_L_sculptural_bodies_F2019.jpg Portfolio A white brunette woman in black dress and white velcro sneakers gazes at herself in a giant, distorted hand mirror that dangles from above. The mirror’s surface is a crumbled silver mylar and the rest of the mirror is navy with red, pink, blue, and green hand embroidery on it. The embroidery repeats the phrase “if you look okay, you’re okay.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be863c63e2d09221142d0ac/1702343279369-HIPFMVC4GPVFCB53NXPE/grad6.jpg Portfolio A detail image of a bubble wrap accessible parking placard (handicap placard). Hand embroidery in royal blue embroidery floss creates the images and text of the artist’s placard including the artist’s own phrasing: “NO LONGER INVISIBLE” and “Permit expires last day of month & year punched But disability does not.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be863c63e2d09221142d0ac/1702343341557-ZLAC6MGOSV02NV3XIZJL/Libby_Evan13.jpg Portfolio A detail image of the bended silver mesh over silver denim. Embroidered in the surface of the mesh is the phrase “do not sit.” The embroidery is in shades of green, blue, pink, and yellow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be863c63e2d09221142d0ac/1702351620479-7EFN0KG8CQ6OZ3W8YD1C/image-asset.png Portfolio - Accessible Shoes Video Excerpt https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be863c63e2d09221142d0ac/1702343458329-AXBGA4OG0W9DXGNXY8U1/Libby_Evan01.jpg Portfolio A sculpture is suspended from a low ceiling in front of a white column that has a leather chair behind it. The sculpture has white, pink, grey, navy, and black chiffon panels that are separated with wooden dowels. The shape of the sculpture mimics stairs. This image shows the sculpture from a slightly off center angle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be863c63e2d09221142d0ac/1702343523699-ZPKW67JXE4BJKX2TNZ9L/libby_evan_13.jpg Portfolio - Velcro Glasses The artist’s glasses are remade out of white velcro and cardboard. The glasses are cat eye in shape with their stems open. The stems have swirls. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be863c63e2d09221142d0ac/1737906801235-USLI6C8G4ATPJOIY6XRM/IMG_7840+2.jpg Portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be863c63e2d09221142d0ac/1770822339176-H613K7IZQ22ISN9F1S8X/CF+between+two+heating+pads.jpg Portfolio - Chronic Fatigue Between Two Heating Pads, 2026 Under her heavy eyelids, the artist blankly gazes out. Her body is obscured by a light brown heating pad that is front and center creating a geological-like stratification. First is a dark stripe of an unseen blanket, then the heating pad, then the artist’s face and light blue hoodie, then her kelly green pillows, next her dark green bed frame, and lastly a sliver of her white wall peaks out in the corner. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be863c63e2d09221142d0ac/1702343030183-68IIRCL8WC0U1PYKAEV1/geditIMG_5602+copy+copy.jpg Portfolio The artist, a white woman with brown hair and thick cat eye glasses, is wearing a black t-shirt with green embroidery on it that reads, “AREN’T YOU SICK OF BEING YOUR OWN CHEERLEADER?” In each hand, she clutches a giant silver and green mylar Pom Pom. Every strand of the Pom Poms has self-talk phrases machine embroidered on them. On the left side of the image, her hand is raised so the Pom Pom is blurry as its strands flap in the air. https://www.libbyevan.com/archive daily 0.75 2026-03-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be863c63e2d09221142d0ac/1702344107139-OTAVSAVJU5N6FUN35JDL/3.jpg Archive https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be863c63e2d09221142d0ac/1702344152552-7MQ4K8YJ98G55M8UJF5G/libby_evan_18.jpg Archive https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be863c63e2d09221142d0ac/1702344359092-GH04E8UJ77CLZNGN1S59/libby_evan_08.jpg Archive https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be863c63e2d09221142d0ac/1702344434717-O16JLNY7RUGK62STU3V1/editE3033892-DA62-4996-9C3E-90ED8A9FEF9F_1_105_c.jpg Archive - Pills 12”x16” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be863c63e2d09221142d0ac/1702345827989-I8LYT1UTZASX4Y1M9GA0/Screen+Shot+2023-12-11+at+7.48.20+PM.png Archive https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be863c63e2d09221142d0ac/1702344224716-WWLUEWBSCGGPBRZOHX62/editIMG_6458.jpg Archive https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be863c63e2d09221142d0ac/1702344284288-9HJEDN3G8E8375NB6G0F/libby_evan_15.jpg Archive https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be863c63e2d09221142d0ac/1702343931534-AK0EOCKKCFAT98OB4GX3/editIMG_6960.jpg Archive https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be863c63e2d09221142d0ac/1702355242425-C56TGPADAMA9XU6JJW3H/_DSC0322.jpg Archive https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be863c63e2d09221142d0ac/1773869610395-HVLAHRJ5V9CM3I3AAWWD/IMG_0035+copy.jpg Archive https://www.libbyevan.com/home daily 1.0 2024-09-23 https://www.libbyevan.com/about daily 0.75 2026-03-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be863c63e2d09221142d0ac/07dce3a5-a060-47c3-9cd0-b144550bc27c/20250823_143721.jpg ABOUT Libby Evan is a multimedia artist focused on soft sculpture and velcro.
