Coulter Fussell’s exhibition titled, “Fabrica” will also open on Thursday, Oct. 27 at the Edward A. Whitney Gallery inside the Whitney Center for the Arts. Fussell will discuss her creative process at 4 p.m. which will be followed by a reception at 5 p.m. This event is free and open to the public.
Fussell was born and raised in Columbus, GA., an old textile town. Hailing from multiple generations of seamstresses and quilters, she was taught to sew by her mother and now produces boundary-pushing quilt works with discarded and donated textiles as her sole materials, according to Fussell’s official website.
Fussell is a 2021 Museum of Arts and Design Burke Prize Finalist, the Jane Crater Hiatt Fellow and winner of the 2021 Mississippi Museum of Art Biennial, a 2019 United States Artists Fellow in Craft, the 2019 Mississippi Institute of Arts and Letters Visual Arts Inductee, and the Finalist for the 2017 SouthArts Southern Prize.
