Lori Nix, who graduated from Truman (then called Northeast Missouri State University) in 1993, is featured in the April 2017 issue of National Geographic<\/em> magazine.\u00a0 Lori double majored in Photography and Art History and she has continued to work as an artist from her MFA at Ohio University through to her successful career in New York City.<\/p>\n

The article is available<\/a> at the National Geographic website.\u00a0 Just to give you a taste of the full writeup (which has several photographs of her work), here are the first two paragraphs:<\/p>\n

\n
\n

It\u2019s the end of the world as we know it, but Lori Nix feels fine. In fact, she and Kathleen Gerber, her partner in art and life, are the cheerful architects of this apocalypse. On a gray winter day in Brooklyn, the two women are working in their chockablock apartment cum studio, carefully building small-scale dioramas of disaster.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Their goal, says Nix, is to create and photograph \u201copen-ended narratives\u2014models of a post-human metropolis in the future, after an unknown catastrophe.\u201d To \u201cunlock, engage, and provoke\u201d viewers\u2019 imaginations, \u201cwe want [them] to contemplate the present. Do we still have a future? Will we be able to save ourselves?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The article also links to a short video<\/a>, produced by The Drawing Room<\/a>, which shows Lori and her partner Kathleen Garber working on creating one of their elaborate dioramas.<\/p>\n
