“Everett subtracts. Her tools are twilight greyscale—the subtraction of colour—and the erasure of complete narrative and resolved form. Erasure imbues the works with not just the physical tonal variations of her sooty media, but temporal gradations that speak to the unfixed-ness of memory and dreamtime. What is unseen gains psychological heft. Everett is deft with her eraser, motion-charging her works, carving lines in charcoal-stained surfaces, subtracting direct references.”
