Evie Lovett Four Days

Evie Lovett, Suzanne Kingsbury

Friday, Feb, 5th, the gallery opens for the evening at 5:30 PM on Gallery Walk Night with a new show of photography by Evie Lovett and text by Suzanne Kingsbury, titled “Four Days: North American Indian Days on the Blackfeet Reservation, Browning Montana.” Lovett, a documentary portraitist, shot her images with a 50 year old Rolleiflex camera and printed them using traditional darkroom techniques. Her past exhibitions have included portraits from a hospital in Rwanda, and drag queens in Dummerston, VT. Kingsbury is a prize winning novelist whose first two books “The Summer Fletcher Greel Loved Me” and “The Gospel According to Gracey” have been optioned for film and translated extensively in foreign markets. After the two friends traveled to Montana together, they decided to combine Evie’s images with Suzanne’s words, “in order to paint the richest sense of the place, the people, the wind, the endless sky, the faces of North American Indian Days.”

20% of the artist’s proceeds from sales of this show will be donated to the Piegan Institute in Browning, MT, a school which instructs students in the Blackfeet, or Piegan, language.
