Artist’s Statement
Taking from visual and fiber craft practices, Abigail builds impactful textural sound sculptures and visual scores which invite a vast array of ‘performers’ - persons who utilize sound and movement in any way - to engage with ideas of community, waste, reuse, and nature. Tactile, organic development marks each of her works, mimicking processes of the natural world and regenerative gardening practices. An installation made of used plastic bags torn and knotted together mimics the structure of a natural environment through becoming a strong, flexible network rather than a fragile single item. The network can be touched to make evocative, tactile sounds thus engaging the audience visually, aurally, and physically with the ideas of waste, reuse, and pollution.
