About the Item

“You never forget where you came from, even if you don’t stay there. Our stories have to propel us forward. It’s the only thing we can do—just keep moving forward”. - Courtney J. Garrett For over a decade, Courtney J Garrett has blurred the lines of past and present through varying choices in mediums. Her fascination of the southern vernacular through photographic works, oil painting, and other experimental methods is based on a universal nostalgia. Believing that memory is the most unifying concept of humanity, her current work seeks to push past the boundaries of comfort. The result is a dreamlike work that often feels “undone” and difficult. “Courtney’s images highlight a seemingly insignificant experience. Whether it is a white farm house that reminds you of a roadside landmark or a one-room church that conjures up the sound of your grandmother’s singing voice—Courtney’s images are haunting in their ability to remind you, and in some ways glorify, buried images from your past.” – Mary Katherine Stump, author, Thicket magazine, March- April 2009 Garrett is collected around the world in both private and corporate collections. Notably, her work was chosen by the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund to create the Foundation’s first historically documented international series, translating the life and work of activist Dian Fossey using a mixed-media process. Her international influence continued beyond 2010 with an opening at the Artist Project NYC, where her work earned multiple shows in Taipei and Greece. In 2011, she opened at The Heritage Museum in Tarpon Springs, Florida representing American Art in a Greek-American exhibition. “When she unveiled the pieces and proceeded to describe them, we were speechless… What she did was take something as simple and everyday as the horizon and turn it into a powerful, emotive image.” – Debra Lewis, managing partner Balch and Bingham Law firm, Corporate Collection In 2014, her work reached new height’s with the Alan Avery Art Company, at the opening of “Skylight - Landscapes: Traditional and Contemporary” at the Oglethorpe University Museum of Art, in Atlanta, GA. At the OUMA exhibition, Garrett represented 21st Century landscape abstraction as an evolutionary link from traditional masters. “I have stopped believing in photo-realism as a means to satisfy the viewer—-but it is in true abstraction that captures the very changing photographic nature of everything.” Courtney J. Garrett was born and raised in rural Alabama. Her mother was a southern tole painter and her father, a draftsman. She received an undergraduate degree from Auburn University and currently resides with her husband and children in Nashville, TN.

These images are available as hand-pulled polymer photogravures, made with bone black and warm sepia inks on Hahnemühle Copperplate paper. Edition of 109 7 x 9 photopolymer gravure Signed numbered and dated by the artist. The photographs and poem that evolved into this series of photographs and the accompanying book “Yesterday” were made during the summer of 2020. Although much of the country was in the midst of the Covid 19 pandemic, on this remote island off the coast of Maine, we still felt free from much of the toll that Covid was taking. Able to spend time outside, in nature, we had the illusion of safety, of normalcy almost, whilst at the same time being painfully aware of how the virus was increasingly touching everyone's lives. By then we all knew of people who had died, or become ill and we were managing the stress of futures shifting and plans that had been derailed, fearing what would come with the change of the seasons. That summer represented a pause in time, a moment where life could feel normal, when we were still holding on to a world of yesterdays. Maine-based photographic artist and writer Sal Taylor Kydd uses various photographic media in a personal narrative that explores themes around memory and belonging; combining her poetry with alternative processes of photography and object-making. Taylor Kydd’s fine art photographs have been exhibited throughout the country and internationally, including Barcelona, San Miguel De Allende, Portland, Boston and Los Angeles; and she has been featured in numerous publications, including Shots Magazine, Don’t Take Pictures Magazine, Lenscratch, Diffusion Annual and The Hand magazine. She has self-published a number of books combining her poetry with her photographs. Her books are in private and museum collections throughout the country including The Getty Museum, Bowdoin College, The Peabody Essex Museum and the Maine Women Writer’s Collection at the University of New England. Taylor Kydd’s latest book “Yesterday”, produced by Datz Press, is a limited edition book of poems and photographs that explores our sense of loss around the pandemic of 2020. Taylor Kydd is also a veteran workshop leader and educator and has led workshops and conducted portfolio reviews throughout the country and internationally with Maine Media, Santa Fe Workshops, Palm Beach Photography...
