Abi Black is a Greater Manchester based artist, born and raised in Rochdale and currently living in Rusholme. In recent work, Black enriches her relationship with said places through the art of wondering, without fear of retracing steps or taking new turns.
Black is engrossed by what exists between the defined structures of the street. She marvels at the tension between contrasting articles: how they layer and decay over time. A quiet, yet bold example of the nature of existence.
Black utilises domestic materials and forms, iterating her exploration of home. Through sculpture, she wishes to generate a greater sense of belonging in everyday objects.
Black makes images using analogue processes, finding value in the tangible image.
