Join us for a special talk featuring one of the artists behind our Watermark: Capturing the Connecticut exhibit! During this program, Evie Lovett will touch on the historical origins of cyanotype photography and its contemporary usages in education and fine art.

Lovett walked the watershed where she lives in Vermont, from its headwaters in a damp spot in a forested nature preserve, down past her home, alongside dirt roads, backyards, an auto repair shop’s junked cars, fields of corn, beaver dams, wetlands, a bird “hot spot”, the village of Putney, Vermont, the shuttered Putney Paper Mill (once powered by the brook), under I-91 and the railroad tracks, until it reached the Connecticut River. Along the way, she made photographs, gathered plants, shapes, and patterns. Back in her studio, she incorporated this material, along with text, research, and maps, into her art.

Evie Lovett’s work spans cyanotype, digital and analog photography, digital media, storytelling, encaustic painting, teaching, public art, and social practice in art, in multiple mediums. She is motivated to explore the spaces where people and the natural world meet and interact, to slow down and listen to the stories that emerge when good questions are asked of people and places. Bringing a social and environmental justice and equity lens to her work is a priority. What especially fuels her is when the tools of art-making are in people’s own hands, enabling them to explore aspects of themselves, their families, their communities, and the world around them through art-making and community collaboration, fearlessly and with joy. Her current artmaking explores the concept and reality of a watershed through large-scale installations of cyanotypes on vellum.
