Cleveland photographer Lori Kella is known for work that is truly distinctive. She creates miniature worlds, outdoor scenes, with common materials and photographs them. Most of her series relate in some way to how we live with the environment and how we respect it — or don’t.
In her new show, The Edge of Things, a continuation of her Vanishing Coastline series, she hones in on coastal erosion caused by intensified storms making the shoreline disappear. Her images depict “a deconstructed terrain of fallen trees and sliding cliffs, as well as an expanse of vines, foliage and overgrowth seen only from the lake itself.” She says, “The images depict the precarious balance of nature and infrastructure in our battle with the climate crisis.” The show opens during Walk All Over Waterloo, Friday April 1 and will be on view through Saturday May 14.
