Up from December 4–27, 2025, Edges and Tolling Bells is the latest work by Evers who uses foraged materials to explore decomposition and regeneration and has adapted the mushroom spore print form to make works on paper.
Madge uses alternative photography, mushroom spores, and painting to combine actual landscape details and imagined flora. She has exhibited throughout New England and attended residencies in Massachusetts, Virginia, Ireland, and New York. Evers lives and works in western Massachusetts; her book about the cyanotype process will be published by Storey in 2026.
