Margaret Evangeline, 2011
Buy Barnes & Noble"Her artwork is exemplified by a devoted investigation of the in-between: emotion and perception, object and experience, component and concept. Her creative output also lies between disciplines, fluctuating from painting, sculpture, and site-specific installation, the extent of which is illustrated in this publication." - J. Beer, The Brooklyn Rail
"[...] takes the reader further into Evangeline’s mind and personality—how her works revolve around her sense of place and her need to be close to a river. Such nuances are picked up throughout the book and reveal an artist deeply attuned to what’s around her, unafraid to use a variety of mediums."- J. Parkey, Scultpure Magazine

In 2011, Evangeline sent 20 aluminum bars to her son, who was completing his deployment in Iraq. He then recruited two soldiers to shoot the metal strips with their guns, creating punctures and puckers where the bullets passed through."- Publisher's Weekly
