As an artist Lori Gordon investigates the structure and power of belief, creating projects that attempt to decipher both humanity's and her own connection with the universe. Through collaborative endeavors, she explores the distance between coincidence and intention, with an emphasis on setting up moments that deviate from the expected. In some cases, she is more interested in providing the organized framework around which potential interactions may occur. With all her work, she is more interested in the journey than the destination.

Gordon received her MFA at the California College of the Arts. She is a SECA Award nominee and the recipient of the Murphy Cadogan Fellowship from the San Francisco Foundation. Exhibition venues include ampersand international, San Jose ICA, Richmond Arts Center, San Jose Museum of Art, Mission17, Southern Exposure, Temescal Amity Works, and The Kitchen (NYC). Gordon is co-founder of Little Red Hen Collective and You Can Have It All.
