Gullah Artwork Showcased at SC State Museum
Gullah Geechee artist, Corey Alston, is one of the most well known and respected stewards of Gullah Geechee heritage, specifically sweetgrass basket weaving. Recently, his piece “Big Percy” was acquired by the South Carolina State Museum and is on display. Alston, a fifth generation basket weaker who was mentored by legendary weaver Mary Jackson states, “This is one of the proudest pieces of my career and will always have a special place in my heart.”
