- How does Eva Jospin incorporate everyday materials to evoke emotions related to memory and space in her work?
**Interview with Eva Jospin on Her Upcoming Exhibition “Vanishing Points”**
**Editor:** Hello, Eva! Thank you for joining us today. Your exhibition ”Vanishing Points” opens on November 15th at Mariane Ibrahim Gallery. Can you tell us what visitors can expect from your work in this show?
**Eva Jospin:** Thank you for having me! In “Vanishing Points,” I explore the theme of disappearance and how our environments are constantly changing. The pieces are inspired by nature and urban landscapes, and they reflect on the tension between manmade structures and the natural world. I hope that viewers will feel a sense of wonder and contemplation as they engage with the work.
**Editor:** That sounds fascinating! I understand this exhibition runs until January 25, 2025. What message do you hope to communicate through your art during this time?
**Eva Jospin:** The exhibition aims to provoke thought about our relationship with nature and the issues of preservation and loss. As we navigate through rapid changes in our environments, I want to encourage viewers to reflect on the beauty that’s fading away and the importance of being mindful stewards of what remains.
**Editor:** You mentioned nature being a strong influence. How do you incorporate different materials to convey these themes in your pieces?
**Eva Jospin:** I often use materials like cardboard and paper, which may seem simple, but they allow me to create intricate three-dimensional forms. By transforming these everyday materials into representations of landscapes, I aim to challenge perceptions of what’s valuable in art and life. The textures and layers serve to evoke emotions tied to memory and space.
**Editor:** Definitely intriguing! Shifting gears a bit, there are so many events happening in the art scene right now. Have you had a chance to see any other exhibitions, such as Phedra Cilene’s “Beyond The Surface” or Celeste Rapone’s ”Big Chess”?
**Eva Jospin:** Yes, I’m excited about both! Phedra’s exploration of boundaries and identity is especially compelling. And Celeste’s unique approach with “Big Chess” brings together playful elements of strategy and artistry—it’s like a commentary on societal dynamics. I think they both contribute wonderfully to the ongoing dialogue in contemporary art.
**Editor:** That’s great to hear! what do you hope artists and audiences will take away from your show or from the current art landscape as a whole?
**Eva Jospin:** I hope my show inspires a sense of connection and awareness about the world around us—both the natural and the constructed. For the broader art landscape, I believe collaboration and open dialogue among artists can lead to impactful change. Art should encourage exploration and empathy in a time when both are needed more than ever.
**Editor:** Thank you so much for your time, Eva! We’re looking forward to seeing “Vanishing Points” and your unique take on these themes.
**Eva Jospin:** Thank you! I can’t wait to share this experience with everyone.
