Bio
Abigail is a project manager in the construction industry in New York City.  As an immigrant, she gives a world view of her passion for visual arts through her photography “the quick shot”.
 
Abigail’s work is about the modern world and our place in it. Light is the foundation and sets the tone of the conversation she captures in an instant, which forces the viewer to come closer to explore for more detail, or to take a step back to understand the full picture. The idea of the “perceived” and the “actual” elicit reactions of fondness that is constant. As an artist she has the unique opportunity to exemplify, subvert, and redefine these concepts.
 
Photography in the now captures moments that have passed before it is seen by someone many miles away by someone we don't know; instances lost. Photography in the now speak instantly to the world a reminiscence through transitions of time and place. Photography in the now draws the image one creates  distant yet intimate.  The audience grasps a color, a sight that sparks the other senses which illicit a memory before it disappears. "Photography in the now" remembers what future might be... a storytelling of memories.
 
Statement
A lone figure cuts through steam and shadow on a downtown street — part silhouette, part ghost in the city’s machinery. The scene blurs boundaries between human and infrastructure, movement and control. Beneath the surface hum of capital and construction, power circulates quietly, shaping the air itself. The figure is both subject and system — moving through the architecture that governs them, unseen but essential to its motion.
