Lori K. Gordon

Loki K. Gordon (born January 20, 1958) is an artist and founder and president of Six Degrees Consortium, a 501(c)3 organization dedicated to the creation and dissemination of art that addresses compelling social issues and that builds bridges across cultures. She is known for ''The Katrina Collection'', her series of mixed media assemblages which incorporates debris from the massive hurricane which ravaged the Mississippi Gulf Coast in August 2005, for The Labat Project, a piece of which has been acquired by the Smithsonian Institution, and for Six Degrees: West to East" which addresses the gulf between the western and Islamic worlds.〔Hurricane Katrina
Born and raised on the Northern Plains, Gordon settled near Bay St. Louis, Mississippi in 1991. Gordon introduced her first mixed media series in 2001. One of her major works from this period is the 8' by 10' biographical art quilt "Labat: A Creole Legacy" which has been acquired by the Smithsonian Institution for inclusion into their permanent collection.〔(The Labat Project: August 2007 )〕
In August 2005, Hurricane Katrina obliterated her home and studio in the small community of Clermont Harbor, Mississippi. With her tools and supplies destroyed by 140 mile per hour winds and a 43 foot storm surge, Gordon resourcefully returned to work using the only materials available to her. She began collecting debris and transforming it into mixed media assemblages.〔(Albuquerque - Convention & Visitors Bureau - June Showcase: Lori Gordon, Mixed Media Artist )〕 Her "Katrina Collection" has been exhibited in dozens of venues around the nation. Private collectors of her work include President and First Lady Michelle Obama,former President and First Lady Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter, Good Morning America's Robin Roberts,
singer Faith Hill, and ESPN announcer Jon Miller. Pieces of The Katrina Collection may be found in the public collections of the Mississippi Humanities Council, Thea Foundation and William J. Clinton Foundation's Art Across Arkansas, Hancock Medical Center, Virginia Commonwealth University, University of Kentucky, University of Southern Mississippi and the Safeco Corporate Collection, as well as two museums in South Dakota.

"Mississippi Son" (2007) by Emmy award winner Don Wilson examines the effects of the storm upon the cultural milieu of the coast.
