LORI LOVE
​Mixed Media Artist

Following in the footsteps of Rauchenburg and the Pop Artists, I am interested in the interplay between iconography and the use of non- traditional artistic mediums.  As an artistic process, I love the explorative value of using vinyl, fiberglass and plastics and their respective properties and am challenged by the ability to recreate iconoclastic images that are grounded in materials whose primary use is utilitarian.

As a mixed media artist, I’ve always found unconventional materials to be most important in my exploration of the visual world, whether that be through the use of gunpowder, organic material or most recently, the discarded remnants of music consumerism.

Over the last five years I have created almost exclusively with damaged vinyl, CD’s and audio tape as my primary material. In deconstructing and weaving together these casualties of the digital streaming age, my goal as an artist has been to create tactile visual experiences that connect the viewer with their musical memories.

For many of us, music was escape from reality; musicians were our “gods” and popular music was our religion.  In the words of John Lennon, “We’re more popular than Jesus now.”  The massive amount of plastic used to create our musical memories are now wreaking havoc on our environment with the carbon footprint of one vinyl record being equal to 450 humans.  In my vinyl pieces, I give these mass- consumed “works of art” a new life by creating larger than life bas relief portraits of my muses, music icons meant to invoke our musical memories, past, present and future.

Collections: Lori’s work is found in numerous private collections, as well as corporate collections.  Most recently her corporate clients have included Live Nation, Cadence Music Factory and AC Hotel by Marriott.

The origin of the IROL EVOL moniker: we wish we could come up with a cool story about how the name came to be
but it is simply the artists' name spelled backward. Sometimes the simplest solution is right in front of you. Occam's razor!
