Review
"At Boston Sculptors Gallery, two artists explore language — lost and found"
by Cate McQuaid, Boston Globe Correspondent, Updated April 25, 2023, 1:10pm
"Marcel Duchamp put a bicycle wheel on a stool in 1913, opening up artistic discourse on the resonance of found objects. Evans' works in "Through My Fingers" are fashioned from tools, cups, and other stray items she picked up over the years and resolved either to use or let go. These pieces feel like relics of the unspoken — meanings and hunches floating just outside language."

Exhibition Essay by Barbara O'Brien
"In Greek mythology Athena is the goddess of wisdom, war, and the arts—a complex constellation of arenas that shed light on the both the visual and conceptual vocabulary Evans has developed in this new sculpture series. While the body of a woman is seen to represent ideals, it also holds a complex interior life. The voice of these sculptures is held still with a momentum that seems to make certain an eventual transmission of something held deep inside that will no longer be silent or still."

"Evans's objects possess a quiet yet unmistakable vitality. They also have humility, though not without a Duchampian wink."

Exhibition Essay by Susan Stoops
"With intelligence and intuition guiding her, Evans has transformed the common tree branch into a complex network of forms and forces, which in its many starts, turns, and pauses, embraces the exhilaratingly yet achingly unpredictable nature of life lived in her studio and the world. "

"BOSTON: Laura Evans, Boston Sculptors Gallery"
by Christine Temin, Sculpture, September 2016
"As you moved around the room, the composition of the installation changed, through there was always a quasi-comical aspect to the works...Evans created a delightful setting that spurred the imagination."
