April 1-30, 2011
Opening Reception: Friday, April 1, 5-8pm
The Brink Gallery is pleased to announce the upcoming exhibit sow, mend, by Nici Holt Cline.

As an artist and a mother of two young children, Cline’s choices are dictated by her daily life. Using egg shells from the chickens in her backyard, and the lint from the dryer, she creates from and within her now.

“Because of both convenience and concept, my creative choices are honest, everyday, and present. I think about generations, purpose, seasons, impermanence, landfills, dust, growth and physicality. These things inform my parenting, my writing, my art-making, my home-making. It’s all interconnected and interdependent.” (Nici Holt Cline)

sow, mend will also contain photos reflecting the four seasons, capturing the passage as well as the fragility of time.

Cline, a fourth-generation Montanan, lives in Missoula. She has a BFA in Painting/Printmaking from the University of Montana (2002), and was the Missoula Art Museum’s development director for seven years. She currently designs and makes clothing, writes a blog (http://www.digthischickmt.com), and writes for an on-line magazine.
