Lori Brethour Coulter

I create art to explore the dualities of human experience—longing and loss, strength and fragility, loneliness and belonging. My practice is also a bow to women’s creativity, historically overlooked and often relegated to the domestic or decorative.

I work with handmade paper, Japanese papers, bones, sewing notions, photos, boats, bottles, textiles, and found artifacts from home and nature. By recontextualizing the discarded or handmade, I give voice to hidden histories. My titles act as entry points into works that mine memory and ambiguity, offering space for reflection rather than singular meaning. Each piece connects to the next, forming a visual journal that unfolds over time. I create through my hands to nourish others through their eyes, framing each work in shadowbox structures that deepen their sculptural presence.
