LORI HOROWITZ | ARTIST
Nurture Series
Life-sized relief papier mache sculptures depict individuals in society and their interactions in everyday life. Often going unseen and unheard, we all contribute and make up this diverse and multi-faceted population. I appreciate the challenge of each piece, collapsing three dimensional pieces into 2 and 3 dimensional space. I love the process working with photography, wire, papier mache and painting. I seem to become somehow bonded to these individuals carefully exploring and interpreting their attitude. These sculptures are based on photographs taken of the subjects.
Curator Review:
This interpretive work by artist Lori Horowitz grafts two small beings to a central figure in an almost chimeric way. This
beautifully constructed ’gathering’, forges together feelings of need, longing, and urgency. The sensation of a desire for
‘place’ can be felt. Horowitz has sincerely created a piece, that resonates with humanity. - E.E. Jacks
