Abbie Bradshaw, born in 1995 in Liverpool, UK, is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice explores the relationship between the body, spatial dynamics, and material culture. Focusing on performance, moving images, installation, and soundscapes, investigating human movement and interaction within contemporary contexts.
At the core, her work investigates the fluidity between the familiar and the extraordinary. Drawing inspiration from narratives, she employs choreographic objects to reimagine habitual actions and the performative aspects of everyday existence. This invites viewers to reassess the latent possibilities within their surroundings and the objects that populate their lives, fostering a renewed engagement with the environment. Her exploration often delves into liminal spaces, those transitional or transformative areas where ordinary perceptions shift, prompting viewers to reconsider the boundaries of their environment. Additionally, her work engages with somatic experiences, emphasizing the body's sensory and physical engagement with space and materials, fostering a renewed engagement with the environment.
