Laura Wilson

| 06.14.2013 - 07.10.2013 | 6PM

Artists: Laura Wilson

Kicking off the summer Art Walk in Bozeman is the photography of Laura Wilson. She captures cowboy heritage that has been held onto in the 21st century. Within the last 25 years Laura has photographed ranches in Montana and west Texas to show that men standing by their own traditions and codes have not been lost. Also featured is her series of Hutterites, who live on large, isolated farms and ranches and shun the modern world. She captures the strength of their communal tradition along with fascinating details of their everyday lives. Her photographs expose the contrasting values and preoccupations of our own rootless society.

Casting Spells

| 07.26.2013 - 08.22.2013 | 6pm

Artists: Matt Flint, Morgan Brig, Marti Somers, and Josie Morway

Opening reception Friday July 26th at 6pm, Livingston. M A T T F L I N T Matt Flint is a painter from the mountain town of Lander, Wyoming. The space, sense of isolation, and wildness of the land continues to amaze, mystify, and inspire him. His works are known for their textural qualities and natural subjects. He intermingles / obscures these more representational images with scratches, marks, glyphs, and drips. M O R G A N B R I G Metal and enamel patinas that suggest the old and familiar, along with found objects that are also old and familiar, but ask to be viewed in a new light. And then there is the layer of playfulness, inspired by his love of old metal and tin toys, and the need to lay humor right next to truth or fear in his work, so that the whole conundrum goes down easier. M A R T I S O M E R S Marti Somers takes you into her world of whimsical canvases and playful narration as she explores the fragility of nature in contrast to modern life, the human form in balance with other living creatures, and ultimately, the magic found in an ordinary day. Her paintings offer up hope for the observer as well as raise questions of deep concern. "Will Earth survive us?" she asks. J O S I E M O R W A Y Josie Morway is a self-taught artist who has been painting most of her life. Her paintings are fragmented narratives, inspired by everyday words and phrases that bombard us - old signage, broken billboards, overheard conversations. Morway is of the opinion that omissions tell half the story.
