 BAM: Riverfront Renaissance, Features, March/April 1998
Barnaby Evans '75 is a Providence sculptor and photographer who creates, in his words, "site-specific artworks." The city's newly revealed rivers and their banks were as irresistible to him as a fresh roll of film in a Hasselblad.
Evans used light, water, air, and fire to capture the urgency that is primitive in each of us....The incense of the wood burning, the convergence of light through the colors of the imaginary stained glass windows - the sky at sunset and the water reflecting fires - have filled the streets of Providence."
Evans is also working on a more ambitious scheme: to stage simultaneous Water Fires in cities around the world on New Year's Eve, 1999, to mark the milennium.

Anyone who has been to Barnaby Evans's studio and apartment in a converted schoolhouse in Providence's Mount Pleasant section would suspect that an explanation of his installation's title might be found somewhere deep in his three libraries, stacked to the ceiling with books on architecture, mythology, art, fiction, and science.
Evans turns the water-thirsty nature of bamboo upside down by suspending from the ceiling thousands of parallel, waterless trunks that normally grow from the humid ground up.
With equally resonant intentions, Evans provides the viewer of his museum installation the opportunity to enter a metaphysical realm; likewise, Evans transforms the commonplace real estate of downtown Providence by putting water and fire­­mutually incompatible, yet complementary properties­­in visual and symbolic proximity and tension with one another.
