Statement
Lori
Gordon is a San Francisco-based artist and independent curator;
her work investigates the structure and power of belief, creating
projects that attempt to decipher both humanity's and her own
connection with the universe. Through collaborative endeavors,
she explores the distance between coincidence and intention, with
an emphasis on setting up moments that deviate from the expected.
In some cases, she is more interested in providing the organized
framework around which potential interactions may occur. With
all her work, she is more interested in the journey than the destination.
She is attempting to make the ineffable visible.
