VIRTUAL & In-Person- Cerbera Gallery Presents: "Slippery" by Stephanie Lanter

“Slippery”
Since 2000, Kansas artist and educator Stephanie Lanter has been working in clay, fiber, and mixed media. Cerbera Gallery’s latest exhibition, “Slippery”, by Lanter engages with the cryptic paradoxes that can be found in her work. Using delicate lines to connect abstract sculptural elements, Lanter magnifies the relationship between negative space and form.
Lanter’s distinctive clay and fiber sculptures reveal the unrelenting modes of communication that link people’s bodies and minds through negative space. Using a technique called “analog 3-d printing” or manual slip trailing, Lanter builds ambiguous forms with liquid porcelain. Through this method, Lanter has developed her own language as hidden phrases and nonsensical words are strung together in clay throughout her sculptures.

Lanter, received an MFA from Ohio University in 2002 and a BA from Xavier University in 1998. Lanter is Currently the Assistant Professor of Ceramics at Emporia State University in Kansas. She has also taught at Washburn and Wichita State Universities.

As one of the founding residents at the Red Lodge Clay Center, and the first Jentel / Archie Bray Foundation Critic at the Bray, Lanter has been awarded residencies at Arrowmont’s Pentaculum, the LH Project, the Archie Bray Foundation, Anderson Ranch Arts Center, and the Mendocino Arts Center.

In addition to exhibiting her sculptural ceramics, installations, and mixed media drawings to an international audience, Lanter has given numerous workshops and presentations, including recently for ArtAxis National ClayWeek Conversations.
Lanter’s essays and artworks have been featured in journals such as Ceramics Monthlyand Ceramics, Art and Perception.

In 2010, she received a Kansas Arts Commission Collaboration Grant to support the interdisciplinary installation and publication series, The Waiting Room Projects, directed by Marguerite Perret, and exhibited across the country and in the Netherlands.
