Lost: Natural History

Lori Nix is an artist who bends the line between truth and illusion in her photographs. She accomplishes this by photographing miniatures and models which illuminate her interest in the disaster movies of the 1970's and her memories of growing up in Kansas - a place that seems to attract disasters like no other. Nix's photographs, while describing disaster and impending doom, come across with the innocence and visceral impact of a scary story told around the campfire. And like any well told story the power of Nix's photographs rely as heavily on the imagination and trepidation of the viewer as they do on the strength and timbre of her voice.
