Lorri Acott sculpts long-legged figures and animals that reflect intimate moments in our
lives: a feeling, an interactin, a realizaiton, an emotion. Simplified, without the details of faces or clothing, they rely on our innate understanding of human gesture to inform us. Her impressionistic figurative sculptures reside in privat and puble collections thoughout the collections throughout the US and abroad. A favorite of collectors and critics alike, Lorri's work receives a powerful emotional response wherever it is placed. Her work reaches for the universal in our innermost beings as it explores and examines the quesiton of our existence. A mixture of heart-warming whimsy and deep understanding of our feelings make Lorri's work approachable and intimate.

Rescued
By Brenda Cumberlege
Lonely heart seeks quiet refuge.
Then, in a moment of grace, one finds
Irreplaceable joy of a kindred soul.
New life springs forth in the rescued.
