Lori's original photographic images are transferred onto recycled copper, aluminum, or wood. The surfaces are highlighted by hand engraving and piercing the materials. The process is part printmaking and part photography with the artistic emotion dictating the unique results.
Lori developed this method of transferring her photography by experimenting with epoxy resins and other thermal imaging materials. Each design is uniquely derived due to the integration of components such as cement, paper or plaster.

New directions and materials dictate my work these cold months. Doors seem to be the theme using many of the materials I found while doing a thorough reorganizing of the studio.
