Hello there. My name is Lori Lusk, & I am a thirty-two year old artist living & making work in Los Angeles.

My work delves into the universally human experience of feeling feelings, examining the ways in which our feelings give meaning to living. I employ my own body as a vessel for expression in creating photographic objects – cyanotypes, collages, printed fabrics, & mixed medias – that are given deeply intentional titles. My photographed figure is the gestural conduit for emoting, & the thoughtfully specific titles are the gateway into each work’s emotive intentions. Writing poetry is also integral to my practice in further naming the feelings I am exploring. I seek a dialogue between the viewer & the expression – do you feel the feeling that the work is naming? Does it invoke other feelings, named or otherwise? So my work examines how our feelings give meaning to living as humans.

Thank you for stopping by. I hope you name some feelings today.
