She is constantly evolving her work through medium and scale, fascinated by the exploration of combined materials and processes, but always with a focus on the Animal Kingdom. \u003cbr\u003eHer work is informed by a childhood spent roaming free in nature, by the animal characters of her childhood storybooks and toys, an early interest in human\/animal connection, by her love of the hand-made, her travels and interest in different cultures, and by the folk art she collects. \u003cbr\u003eThe early years of her life, spent often in the care of her maternal Grandma, introduced Abigail to the world of making things from fabric and thread. These materials, generally remnant scraps, offered a lasting connection to her after she died and so naturally became the medium through which Abigail explored her creativity throughout her education and early career as a textile artist.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAbout this collection:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eI've been home on maternity leave, away from my studio - my clay and my woodworking tools, with just a box of treasured fabrics I've collected over the years (and my baby of course!). I started making little soft squishy things for my Juni from these fabrics and that brought me right back to my own childhood, and the soft squishy things my Mum and Grandma made for me. \u003cbr\u003eThe process of building joyful colour palettes from these fabrics, bringing little characters to life from sketches, and then the slow, meditative process of stitching them together has kept me sane through the difficult, sleep-deprived days of early parenthood. \u003cbr\u003e10 months in, as I start to find my way back to 'working', I'm finding myself still drawn to this method of making and have loved having the ETA Show as a reason to create!\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abigail Brown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52459549655319,"sku":"210000049374","price":795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1018\/2101\/files\/Snake_bfd6122d-7e18-4966-a776-ca29edfa92dd.jpg?v=1773944101","url":"https:\/\/nahcotta.com\/products\/snake-abigail-brown","provider":"Nahcotta","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
