About the Event
Coulter makes societal connections in her large-scale quiltworks using discarded textiles as her sole materials. She will share her various bodies of work and their developments over the years as well as her storefront studio practice in rural Mississippi.
Coulter Fussell was born and raised in Columbus, Georgia, an old textile town. She is the youngest family quilter, hailing from multi-generations of seamstresses and quilters. She produces boundary pushing quilt-works using old, discarded and donated textiles as her sole materials. Taught to quilt by her mother, Coulter has exhibited works across the country.
She was the Finalist for the 2017 SouthArts Southern Prize, the 2019 Visual Arts Inductee into the Mississippi Institute of Arts and Letters and a 2019 United States Artists Fellow in Craft, the 2021 Jane Crater Hiatt Fellow and a 2021 Museum of Arts and Design Burke Prize Finalist.
