About the Artwork
March of the Fence Men is part of a series of artworks by artist Lorna Jordan that were created using a computer graphics system developed by the University of Washington, called IBIS. The figures in this piece are composed using images of picket fences, and Jordan notes are "reflective of our penchant for defense, for arming ourselves psychologically as well as with weaponry."
This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with North Kitsap School District.
About the Artist
Seattle-based, environmental artist Lorna Jordan (1954-2021) created artworks that blur the boundaries between sculpture, theater, media, architecture, and ecology. She created public installations, often using sustainable materials. Her works invite reflection about our sense of place and our relationship to nature. In her own words, “My works are more than objects – they are ideas, places, and actions.”Jordan received a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Virginia in Charlottesville in 1976. She later studied at the University of Washington in Seattle.
