Lori Park : Wire Mobiles, Assemblages, Textural Panels And Other New Works From Marrakech, London and Dayton

 

 

The gallery is honored to exhibit Lori Park : Wire Mobiles, Assemblages, Textural Panels And Other New Works From Marrakech, London and Dayton. Lori Park’s work invites us into a world where form, texture, and transformation converge. Through wire sculptures, assemblages, and richly textured panels, Park explores the expressive potential of everyday materials, reshaping them into objects of unexpected beauty and resonance.

The wire sculptures embody both fragility and strength, their contours tracing gestures in space that hover between drawing and structure. Her assemblages reveal a deep sensitivity to material histories—objects once discarded or overlooked are recomposed into new visual narratives, layered with meaning and memory. The textured panels, in turn, expand this vocabulary, using surface and depth to create fields that oscillate between painting and relief, presence and absence. Together, these works highlight Park’s ongoing dialogue between the tactile and the conceptual. Each piece carries evidence of the artist’s hand, yet leaves room for viewers to encounter their own associations within the materials. The exhibition as a whole underscores the transformative power of art: the ability to reimagine, reconstruct, and ultimately renew.

Lori Park is an award-winning artist with exhibits in Europe, the UK, USA and North Africa. Her work is in royal collections in the UK and Morocco and in private, corporate and public collections in the UK, Europe, Asia, Australia, and North America.

Working from studios in Marrakech, the West of England and Dayton, Ohio, Ms. Park uses a wide variety of materials. She has created large-scale bronze, concrete and mixed-media sculptures, multi-story wire suspensions, large textural panels and found-object assemblages, floating spirals, printmaking and photography, collage, and installations in landscape. She also incorporates scent, LED lighting and night luminescence in her works.

Her childhood art was inspired by her fascination with nature. She studied botany, zoology, economics, and policy analysis, with an undergraduate degree from The Evergreen State College and a graduate degree in Public Administration from Harvard University.

Prior to starting her career in art, she worked in the Pacific Northwest as marine biologist, a wilderness guide and musher, and as a cook on a fishing boat. Following those adventurous years she joined the Environmental Protection Agency in Washington D.C. Later she left the EPA to become a professional artist.
