Through exhibitions across the country and as a resident of the McColl Center for Visual Art, Abrams’ work has increasingly focused on symbolic use of materials to explore environmental and social issues. This work will continue in 2014 as a resident at Escape to Create, using materials destined for landfill to create installations, and as a resident of the Golden Foundation employing new technologically sophisticated materials. The incorporation of these new materials creates a more thorough representation of the issues Abrams explores, as well as will become the foundation for a long term life-as-art project focused on the parallels of life and viability amongst biodiverse ecosystems and the urban landscape. In its simplest terms, a circumnavigation exploring environmentally threatened areas and the populations dependent on those areas, with the findings being used to develop site specific installations, exhibitions and publications.
