Fussell's \"quilt-works\" are multidimensional landscapes of the American South. Often referencing specific regional geographies, her assemblages are materially grounded in rural networks of exchange and reuse: they are constructed entirely from textiles, printed matter and other items donated by neighbors in Fussell's hometown of Columbus, Georgia, and Mississippi's Yalobusha County, where the artist now lives. Across artwork images and a series of essays, \u003ci\u003eThe Proving Ground\u003c\/i\u003e traces how the \"ground\" mutates across Fussell's works. Often using the compositional elements of landscape to create parallels between environmental and interpersonal terrains, Fussell's art questions the perceptual, psychological and cultural \"grounds\" that frame our experience, determine our sense of place and shape what we believe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Inventory Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/04\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781941753965\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112","brand":"Coulter Fussell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52679593164981,"sku":"9781941753965","price":29.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/coulter-fussell-the-proving-ground-9781941753965","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
