Wallaby, from a wrapped sculpture collection, explores the repurposing of waste materials. The collection’s internal structures are built from wire and plastic packaging and bound in strips of pre-loved jersey t-shirts. The strips of jersey weave in and out of each other as they bind the form and are secured in place by small hand-stitches.

Captivated by the animal world
- • Abigail creates her animals with a variety of mediums
- • She is continually learning and inventing new techniques
- • Her work combines colour, pattern and texture
The first source of inspiration for London-based multimedia sculptor Abigail Brown is the Animal Kingdom: “All my work takes an animal form, often looking to lesser known, threatened species to highlight conservation projects with a hope to help save them from extinction.” She is fascinated by the exploration of combined materials and processes, constantly evolving her work through medium and scale. Abigail prefers to work with materials that have already had a life, like old clothing that carry signs of wear or metal objects found underground. “I like the idea of them having a former life, a soul that is rebirthed in the object I build from them. This recycling also ties in to my concern for the natural world, helping me spread the message that it’s something we must take greater care of.”
