SEBASTIEN COURTY

TOTEM, A WALL’S JEWELRY—

While rooted in textile traditions, my work often expands beyond fiber—recycling and combining materials not typically associated with weaving. From 24k gold to rubber and salvaged industrial remnants, my wall-based panels draw inspiration from specific countries, their natural resources, and commercial activity. At their core, these works are explorations of multiculturalism, designed to spark dialogue and shift perspectives.

Commissioned late last year for a private office on Madison Avenue, Skylight Reverie is an artwork inspired by—made in and for—New York City.
Composed of thousands of individually cut and hand-painted threads, this 2D work captures the city’s light, texture, and quiet energy beneath a crisp spring skylight at dawn.
