Lori Nix
Lori Nix was born and raised in Kansas, a state often ravaged by severe weather. She was fascinated with storms and natural disasters and their aftermath greatly influenced her world view and her work. A very environmentally conscious citizen, Nix is highly concerned with the influences humans are having on the earth. Much of her work in apocalyptic in nature, yet does not have the feel of devastation.
For the majority of her pieces Nix created hand-made dioramas which are very intricate and extremely small. For her latest series, The City, the spaces show public spaces devoid of human life. They are slowly being taken back by nature and often feature flora, fauna, and insects. They also seem to portray a dark humorous sensibility which make them intriguing and thought-provoking.
Her work features creative, and sometimes rather dramatic lighting, relatively large depths of field, and large frames. Although her work often portrays small spaces her photographs have amazing depth and vivid detail.
