Event Detail

Join us for the public opening reception, Friday, August 2, 5-9pm of BIO/ME!

BIO/ME is an exhibition of four women artists from Missoula, Montana, who work in the mediums of printmaking, painting, photography, mixed media and ceramics. The artworks in this show explore our human connection with the earth, especially the relationship of the human body and the terrestrial body. How do we see ourselves in nature, and how does it show us who we are?

As we look towards finding solutions to environmental problems, an important step in healing involves reconnecting ourselves to nature. This includes finding appreciation and wonder in the natural world around us; finding metaphors and poetry in the earth that we can learn from and live by; and seeing ourselves in and building relationships with the land. The artworks in BIO/ME explore these themes and show us the intimate connection that humans and nature have.

This show is curated by Emily Elliott Gergasko:
