Splendor examines the complex beauty of the American landscape, where the wonder of the natural world is punctuated by its counterpart of the artificial. Splendor explores what it means to witness—to look outward at a world shaped by myth and infrastructure, and inward toward a quieter, more personal register of seeing.
“To be inside a Courtney Allen image,” novelist Kathleen Alcott observes in her essay accompanying the work, “is to eavesdrop on an argument between the secular and the divine, the sentient and the manufactured, the forever and the recent.”
Splendor was published by Deadbeat Club in Fall 2024 and is available for purchase along with its Special Edition. Read more about the book here.
