Artist Eva Dixon | Art Carousel

Morgane speaks to artist Eva Dixon at her artist residency studio at Revue Studios in Soho during the Spring of 2025.

Eva Dixon (b. 2000) is an artist from Waratah, Australia living and working in London, United Kingdom. Dixon takes the persona of a ‘mad-scientist’, investigating materials and subverting their purpose to fit a need within the work. The geometric forms in Dixon’s work are pulled from construction, mirroring the appropriated materials the artist uses such as electrical shrink tubing, paracord and recycled wooden pallets. In doing this Dixon blurs the lines between painting, sculpture and craft whilst investigating how the relationship between opacity and transparency can expose the structure and surface as one. Dixon’s use of stable and unstable materials leaves the work in a constant tension, offering a site to question making process and the binaries between labours.

During the interview Eva references the following:

• Eva is currently reading works by Ursula Le Guin and has just finished ‘Another Country’ by James Baldwin
• What Eva listens to in the studio: Usually Audiobooks, however when Eva needs to concentrate hard on the work, she listens exclusively to Pop Music
• During the interview Eva was on an artist residency at Revue Studios (  / revuestudios_soho  , hosted by Soho Revue (  / sohorevue  )
• Eva finds a lot of her materials on Vinted & ebay
• Eva’s lightbulb moment came during a lecture given by Caroline List at Central Saint Martin’s on Sigmar Polke
• If Eva could exhibit with any artists she would pick Dianna Molzan (  / dianna_molzan  , Sigmar Polke, Merlin James, Ian Kiaer & Jesse Darling
• Eva’s dream exhibition would take place in the International Space Station
