ABOUT

A deep desire to connect lies at the heart of Lori Landau’s inter-and transdisciplinary work.

Her creative output is a documentation of presence, relationship, and attentive participation with the larger forces of nature, such as weather, atmosphere, and the elements. She believes strongly in an animist world, and is fascinated with transcribing, transmuting, transmitting, and transforming the energetic exchanges between herself and the bodies of birds, water, stones, and fields. Lori is an intentional rebel, who works to disrupt the reductive order that manifests in polarities and separation. The daughter of a Holocaust survivor, she is riveted on themes of place, peaceful r/evolution, freedom, and co-dreaming a more inclusive world by focusing on practices that are rooted in belonging and responsible kinship. Her writing can be found in a variety of magazines, anthologies and blogs, and her art has been exhibited in both New York City and California. Her most recent projects include writing poems for two different land trusts through Nature Culture, a portrait-drawing practice that processed her own profound personal losses during the quarantine, and most recently, she has been creating art and text in community, in response to recordings of birdsong, waves and other atmospheric sounds.
