Everett’s process-driven work explores the base materiality of photography. How the medium - essentially a momentary capture of a fragment of light - can be endlessly applied and reapplied, transfigured onto new surfaces, and redefined as a concept. Everett explores how images can live on their own accord - changing, developing, decaying or evolving beyond the artist’s control or original intention.

Presented as a highly experimental installation, The Warm Parts includes a variety of projects and unique pieces. Everett explores material changes through 'This is That', a large-scale frame of photosensitive paper which responds to the natural environs of the gallery space, altering as the changing light is refracted into the clean open spaces. The gallery skylight is employed as an organic 'projector' where works are exposed using only the sun, passing clouds and weather cycles to illuminate it.

Everett will also exhibit life size versions of his ‘buried pictures’, the images created by encasing found and archival photographs in the ground at sites in California, New York, Paris, and London. After leaving the images for sustained periods of time, they are then excavated from their resting place and re-photographed, imbuing the images with painterly details created by the internal rhythms of the earth beneath us.
