Biography/History: Seattle-based, environmental artist Lorna Jordan (1954-2021) created artworks that blur the boundaries between sculpture, theater, media, architecture, and ecology. She created public installations, often using sustainable materials. Her works invite reflection about our sense of place and our relationship to nature. In her own words, “My works are more than objects – they are ideas, places, and actions.” Jordan received a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Virginia in Charlottesville in 1976. She later studied at the University of Washington in Seattle.
