Ever Pallas: Visual communications and Graphic Designer
he/they
Ever Pallas is an artist/designer with a background in cooperatives, architectural theory, and handmade ephemera. His projects focus on interconnectedness, social justice, and the ecological history of cities. Through sculpture, interactions, printed and digital media they are a passive inventor of microenvironments for empathetic integrity. Ever’s site specificity involves a process receiving and channeling the intersectional complexity of our human condition into visceral objects and convivial happenings. He is also an editor of collage style films in digital and celluloid formats.
Ever has been a graphic designer and storyteller on cultural landscapes for nearly two decades and is excited to bring these skills to the Watershed Progressive team. He studied at Yestermorrow Design/Build school in Warren, VT before completing a bachelors in Sustainable Community Development at Prescott College. Ever believes in emphasizing indigenous and grassroots technologies especially with regard to food and stewardship. Their affection for how artistic ecologies adapt or invent economic and technological landscapes has led to two separate masters degrees; one from the Corcoran College of Art and Design and the other from the Southern California Institute for Architecture.
Ever is enchanted by the presence of live oaks and mallows throughout Central and Southern California, and believes that restoring our once tropical watershed is a crucial forefront of climate resilience. Rather than seeing nature as an untouched site, he is interested in how many communities have intentionally developed rich and diverse ecological systems while living within them. They are particularly interested in how Southern California could embrace its marshy past without relinquishing urbanism.
