Cecily E. Horton Gallery Laura Kante uses the fibers processes of crochet and weaving to express the paradoxical narrative of the human condition: the continuous interplay between the internal world of mental/spiritual processing and the external world of experience. The works are sculptural metaphors drawing on cultural associations of color and material to elicit an intuitive response; black/white, hard/soft, aggressive/passive. Fibers of Being contains three types of work: a site specific installation of crochet lace that consumes the wall and organically responds to the architecture of the gallery; sculptural wall pieces in which woven forms and crocheted cloth interact; and deconstructed and reworked sections of wall from previous installations. Laura Nicole Kante creates installations and sculptural wall pieces using the fibers processes of weaving and crochet. She received her BFA in painting from the University of Houston (2003) and her MFA in fibers from the University of North Texas (2010). She currently lives in Little Elm, Texas, and teaches as an Adjunct Professor of fibers at the University of North Texas. www.lauranicolekante.com
