Lori Brown of The Morning Lori Vine

This past weekend in Chicago, the Renegade Craft Fair took place – it’s always a great time. Tons of booths from artists and craftmakers from all over the world, and no lack of quality work. Lori Brown’s booth drew me in. Her “heads” were mounted, and she also had free-standing sculptures on display, all of which evidence a species she has created in her mind, and produced through sculpture. It’s cohesive, its trippy, and the planet these creatures are from must be wild. The world needs more creatures like these, just as it needs more people like Lori to dream them up. This is exactly the way we like our art at IPMM – bugged out.
