Evie Metz is a visual storyteller whose multidisciplinary practice spans sculpture, installation, and animation, celebrating spiritual transformation and the unseen forces that shape identity. Her work exists in the tension between control and release, fixation and metamorphosis, inviting viewers to shift perspective, open doorways, and step into spaces of wonder and connection. Working with tactile materials and ancestral symbolism, she reimagines everyday objects and gestures as carriers of memory, legacy, and regeneration, where the body becomes architectural, the smallest creatures bear weight, and change is both a rupture and a return.

Your Body is Your Temple, 7.5' x 9' x 4', 2025
This larger-than-life sculpture depicts a woman performing a backbend. Her body forms an archway for viewers to walk through, a gesture that reflects both strength and vulnerability. Bridging the childlike and the adult, the figure invites a moment of transformation. Embroidered into the fabric is the message "Your Body is Your Temple". This phrase was passed down through generations in the family of the artist, forming an intergenerational thread woven from ancestral storytelling and the reslience of those who came before us.

Either / And, 2D animation, 2025
Projected into the corner of the gallery, the animation follows a series of transforming bodies as they move across the seam where two walls converge. This liminal threshold becomes a metaphor for the emotional and spiritual flux we often experience in moments of crisis and transformation.
Judy's Garden, Puppet Stop-Frame Animation, 2024
In Judy’s Garden, a woman is confronted by death and taken on a journey through her past. The garden is shown as a cosmic arena of continuous death and renewal, one which all living things, including the gardener herself, are a part of. The film is an ode to these cycles in the natural world and a meditation on what it means to be alive. Created in collaboration with Nick Daly, who also composed and mixed the entire soundtrack.
