Lori K. Gordon (born January 20, 1958) is an artist known for her mixed-media assemblages incorporating debris from Hurricane Katrina. Her works include The Labat Project, acquired by the Smithsonian Institution, [1] and Six Degrees: West to East, which addresses the relationship between Western and Islamic cultures.
Gordon moved to Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, in 1991 and began working with mixed media in 2001. One of her works from this period, Labat: A Creole Legacy, an 8' by 10' biographical art quilt, was added to the Smithsonian Institution’s permanent collection. In August 2005, Hurricane Katrina destroyed her home and studio in Clermont Harbor, Mississippi. Following the disaster, Gordon used salvaged materials to create The Katrina Collection, which has been exhibited in multiple venues across the United States.
