Laura Porter (b. 1991, Lewisham, England) is an artist based between North Devon and South London, and is the founding director and curator of Studio KIND. in Braunton, Devon. She obtained her MA in Sculpture from the University of the Arts London.

Working with discarded clothing—a material that carries with it cyclical histories of land, worker, consumer and waste—Porter breaks down the garments to create a raw material that is re-formed into solid structures, often in response to the environments in which she works. Intrinsically grounded in the traditions of craft and textiles art, her practice pushes back against an automated, digitised world and hierarchies of labour and material, instead placing value in slow, low-tech processes performed by the body. Using her own body as a site of action and a renewable energy source, Porter undertakes labour-intensive tasks in order to critique the idea of productivity as a measurable output of effectiveness.

Porter has had six solo exhibitions to date, the most recent of which was Compost (2023) at the Plough Arts Centre in Devon, England. Additionally, she has exhibited in galleries and group shows across the country, including shows in London, Bristol, Kent, Plymouth, and Brighton, and has been the recipient of funding from the British Council, Arts Council, and A-n.
