Abi Hodson

I play with non-linear timescapes and sites of rupture and discordance, using the colours and materials of construction sites. With this visual language of transition, I create pieces that play with my kinship with gremlin-like characters who inhabit the grey space between “good” and “bad.” I love making as a relational practice between people, and between the body and the material world.

My work is an invitation to share, build, and deepen our relationships - whether they're within one’s own body/mind, or with other beings who live in this world with us.

I root myself in the earnest and playful, seeking to spark curiosity and delight.

Abi is a queer, trans, multi-media artist based in Tiohtià:ke/ Montreal and Kjipuktuk/Halifax. Their practice is grounded in collage, whether it’s video, cake-making, movement, or wearables. Abi facilitates creative spaces for people to connect and explore different modes of making, imagining, and knowedge-sharing.
