About this listen

Casey Roberts is textile artist and poet living in Perry County. Trained by artist June Carlton in painting and their great-grandmother in sewing, they started in visual art before turning to garment-making. Their art is informed by growing up queer and remaining in the rural Black Belt of Alabama. Incorporating antique textiles, painted elements, and doll-making into wearable art and more is of particular interest. We are the sum of time: the resilience, the degradation, the patina all testify to a present informed by the past. Textiles are not only a shield from time, but a window into its passage.
