Lorie is an artist and Professor of Photography & Imaging at Tisch School of the Arts, and the founding director of Tisch Future Imagemakers, a free social practice project for NYC area high school students. Her photo-based works, installations, and web projects use various technologies of representation to explore issues of memory and transmission,

identity and loss, presence and absence, shifting cultural meanings of

photographs, and the relationship between the intimate and the public.

at Photoville, Brooklyn, NY; ArtSway, Hampshire, England; The International Center for Photography, NY; Center for Creative Photography, Tucson, AZ; The Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; the Houston Center for Photography; Addison Gallery, Andover, MA; and Stanford University Art Museum.
