LORI SHOCKET | THREADWORKS ART

Geometric Improv Piecing explores structure through intuition, using geometry as a flexible framework rather than a fixed system. Influenced by the bold visual language of the Gee’s Bend quilters, these works balance order and disruption, allowing rhythm, interruption, and discovery to shape each piece.

Topographic Fiber Studies draw on the visual language of terrain, using contour-like stitching and layered surfaces to suggest movement, memory, and passage. These works read as both landscape and lived experience, mapping inner and outer terrain through slow, deliberate mark-making.

Peripheral Works gather pieces created at the edges of my primary series—where experimentation, interruption, and intuition take the lead. These works allow new forms, rhythms, and surface language to emerge, often pointing toward future directions while remaining complete and resolved in their own right.
