About: 

Abbie creates abstracted, classical, figurative sculptures using polyurethane spray foam, bed sheets, and construction materials such as concrete, rebar, and plaster, combining techniques to create these forms. Having studied traditional sculpture, Abbie builds in clay and takes molds, and creates casts directly from her own body. The final works are, to some extent, three-dimensional collages. Her work explores what it means to be a woman and what it means to be human - a domestic animal – and the ways in which we seek to create and maintain a particular domestic lifestyle. Curator, Rachel Stratton has described Abbie’s work as challenging categorization and embodying contradiction. She remarks, “The bed clothes bare the marks of years of use, a rejection of the static, youth of the classical ideal.”
