Abigail Reynolds

Abigail Reynolds artworks are like looking at a time warp; Abigail makes relief sculptures using found photographs of the same place taken at different times.




Abigail says: "I collect second hand tourist guides. Within the century of printed photographs that they contain, I search for plates that have been printed at similar scale, taken from a similar view point.

When I find a near match between book plates, I cut and fold the pages into a new single surface. The dates written on each work give the publication dates of the books I have used. Whichever has been used as the 'base' image is listed first."
