Courtney Coombs

Courtney Coombs makes art, writes, and facilitates to make sense of the world and their place in it. They are heavily influenced by situations and captivated by the relational. Employing queer-centric methodologies, they privilege periods of observing, thinking, feeling, learning, and unlearning, as much as realising a final form, which often involves a reimagining of everyday encounters. Driven by concepts and seduced by the potential of uncertainty and ambiguity, their minimally presented liaisons include objects, installations, 2-dimensional works, moving images and sound, discourse, dialogue, and community building. Courtney imbues these subjective and gestural propositions with a hopeful criticality concerned with disrupting dominant narratives about worth and value, and prompting different ways of seeing, understanding and being.
