About Laura Korynta

Laura Korynta is a multimedia artist with a love for working with natural materials. She is drawn to the profound human yearning to reconnect with ecosystems; her art serves as a conduit for nurturing relationships with the spaces around us.

About the Residency

During her residency, Laura will share how basketry can connect us with our surroundings, with our histories, and with each other by creating and facilitating a basket lending library using materials native to the driftless region. Community members and visitors can ‘check out’ a basket and document their relationship with the object and its use in day-to-day life in a log book. This project offers a unique way to share and experience stories through exchange, offering glimpses into the lives of others, how they move through the community, and what makes people want to call this place their home. The baskets bouncing around town will serve as a visual symbol of the intentionality to slow down and connect to our place within the ecosystem, and within the timeline of human life.

All residency events are free and open to the public.

The Lanesboro Early Career Artist Residency Program is supported by the Jerome Foundation.
