Abigail Lucien

In Abigail’s sculptures, steel like ribbon and hefty slabs of soap tell a story of fragility and decay. In Abigail’s words, “…Merging my practices’ architectural vernacular with my interest in highlighting the tenderness, labor, and ritual of self-care, I’ve been pouring pounds of soap and cocoa butter into self-fabricated molds. There is an implied ephemerality with these materials that is fixed in its exchange with the body. After all, I don’t know many folks who buy a bar of soap with the intent to use it for the rest of their lifetime” Learn more about Abigail here.
