Archeology and evolution play a dramatic role in the work
of Lori Nozick. Archetypal images -walls, arches and columns,
boats, signs and ladders - become a visual and physical language
through which she is able to illuminate our relationship to
personal and public spaces. Her “Diaspora” series
references the history of geological movements that scatter
and disperse material, leaving behind cast-off remnants and
skeletal debris. Nozick was recently selected by sculptor
Mary Miss to receive the “Best Public Arts Project of
the Year” award for her piece Luce Et Vita Universae,
sponsored by the Americans for The Arts, Public Art Network
and Review. She lives in Crompond, NY.
