Madge Evers (b. 1961, Norwalk, CT) explores the transformative cycles of dormancy, decay, and ecstatic growth in plant life. Her work combines alternative photography, mushroom spores, and painting to depict landscape details and imagined flora. Evers earned a BA from Suffolk University in Boston and an MA from the University of Rhode Island. Her work has been exhibited at the New Britain Museum of American Art (CT), Danforth Museum of Art (Framingham, MA), Brattleboro Museum and Art Center (VT), and the Zero Art Fair (New York, NY), among others. In 2024, she curated and exhibited in the group show *Biomorph* at Split Level Gallery (Northampton, MA) and presented her third solo show at ECA Gallery (Easthampton, MA). Recent artist residencies include Chautauqua Arts (2024), Cill Rialaig (Kerry, Ireland, 2023), Oak Spring Garden Foundation (Upperville, VA, 2023), Kinney Center for Interdisciplinary Renaissance Studies at UMass Amherst (2022), and Eastern Frontier Educational Foundation (Jonesport, ME, 2022). Evers was a Massachusetts Cultural Council Artist Fellowship Finalist in Photography (2021) and made Photolucida Critical Mass top 200 (2019). Evers currently lives and works in western Massachusetts. Her book about the cyanotype process will be published by Storey in 2026. "My work features native and introduced flora foraged from different landscapes, along with imagined botanical elements. Working primarily on paper, I use various materials and processes, including mushroom spores, cyanotype, painting, collage, and book making. I began adapting and experimenting with mushroom spore prints as an art medium in 2015. The cyanotype—an alternative photographic process pioneered by botanist Anna Atkins in 1843 —provides flexibility for revision and repair in my practice. Spore printing and cyanotype photograms connect me to the cyclical transformations of plant life: growth, decay, and dormancy. I believe nature's interdependent systems offer a restorative framework for humans, and possibly humanity."
