About.
Abbey Corbin is a visual artist and designer working with sculpture, photography, video and drawing, with a focus on materials and processes. She weaves together speculative narratives to create uncanny, otherworldly life-forms and ecosystems. Her most recent body of work, 'Things That Grow in Haunted Places', is a growing collection of fossils and archived materials from an imagined future, inspired by her research into the effects of toxic materials on oceanic life-forms and their habitats.
