FOUR QUILTS :: Coulter Fussell

CUNSTHAUS

CUNSTHAUS is happy to present Four Quilts, by Coulter Fussell. This solo exhibition of abstract quilts is a selection of quilts pulled from a much larger body of work spanning over the course of almost four years. The quilts selected for exhibition at CUNSTHAUS represent a progression, which proceeded quilt by quilt in her exploration of combining used fabrics with the logic of abstract painting. Fussell’s work opens the door to the mysteries and histories of worn, shredded, faded fabrics while balancing on the tightrope between the traditional wholeness of quilting composition and the focused nature of painting composition. Coulter Fussell was born and raised in Columbus, GA. She learned quilting from her mother, a master quilter, and she learned about painting from her father, an artist and former museum curator. Coulter owns a vintage fabric store and experimental textile studio in Water Valley, MS. She lives there with her two young sons.
