Lots of big feelings for this 3rd residency at @clark_mfa
As always, I’m thankful to have such a wonderful community of artists to hold everything together during all those vulnerable moments. 🫶🏼
Really excited to see where this year’s graduates take their work next!
Eva Lin Fahey creates work that lives in the in-between. Where lineage, loss, and possibility intersect. She speaks to what it means to create after severance, and how her work becomes something held for future generations.
“I feel like a future ancestor,” she shares, inviting viewers into a space where reflection completes the story.
Meet Eva and learn more at our final artist talk on January 17th.

Highlighting another wonderful artist for #StudioSundays 🤍 @evalinfahey based in western Mass.
Here is the insight that drives her work.
My work considers the impact of family separation in the face of China’s One Child Policy through the creation of personal mythologies and manifestations of past, present, and future ghosts. It is tied around questions of the negotiation of identity, displacement, and memory. Caught perpetually in an in-between state, my experience of navigating the soft gray edges of identity continues to both define my artistic practice and push it further into murkier waters. My process mirrors the fragile transmission of cultural and personal memory, where meanings distort, unravel, or multiply depending on who is telling the story and where it is being told.
Excited to share I will have this tiny work on paper in Palladium/Athena Project Space’s inaugural work on paper exhibition! Curated by @theresadaddezio@greglindquist
