Abigail Gordon (she/her, b. 2000) is an Asian Caribbean American emerging artist and curator who lives and works in Brooklyn, NY, as a curatorial fellow at the Museum of Modern Art and the Studio Museum in Harlem. Abigail’s multidisciplinary practice explores the Afro-Caribbean and Asian Diaspora through the lens of Afrofuturism, memory, sacred geometry, worldbuilding, and love.

Through papermaking, sculpture, and textiles, Abigail creates a visual cadence with textiles and fibers. Her laborious artmaking practice examines how we ascribe memory to objects like clothing and bed linens, further thinking about their relationships to our bodies and how these everyday items hold memories. Abigail’s current body of work focuses on the concept of portals as a means of transformation, transportation, and communication; connecting to Abigail’s continued exploration of her alter ego The Tree, which embodies how she relates to the world and her surroundings. As an extension to her practice, Abigail does environmental work across community gardens and farms throughout New York City, serving as a constant source of inspiration as she continues to work with pre owned clothing and home goods and building a more sustainable artistic practice.
