I can’t recall when I first saw Courtney’s work, but she reached out to me in the pandemic and we got to know each other a bit. Courtney is what my friend Laura calls '“secret southern.” This means that you would not know it by their biography or current work, but they have some deep roots down here. It’s a dubious honor. I love the way Courtney sets up her studio (has three rooms for sourcing, making, and editing). Her sculptural textile-based work had been shown at the influential Bravin Lee textile shows and a ton of other places. Thank you for your story, CP!
