Marie Lorenz’s work is rooted in the exploration and narrative of New York City’s waterfronts. Combining psycho-geographic exploration with highly crafted, material forms, Lorenz uses boats to create an uncertain space and bring about a heightened awareness of place. In 2005, she started her Tide and Current Taxi project, taking people around the New York Harbor in a boat built from salvaged materials, using the tide to guide her navigation. Lorenz is the spring quarter visiting professor in The California Studio: Manetti Shrem Artist Residencies.
Organized by The California Studio: Manetti Shrem Artist Residencies in the Maria Manetti Shrem Art Studio Program. Co-sponsored by the Manetti Shrem Museum.
