Sedimental Edition 01

open archives and studio library collection

Sedimental | Edition 01 is the inaugural open archives project for Abigail Doan studio and Lost in Fiber Library [ @abigaildoanstudio + @lostinfiber_library ]

As an exploration of archiving as an art practice and expression of the wonder of object collecting, this open viewing explores how we are drawn to highlighting and recombining forms and select materials as they settle into our environs and overlay with our living space.

Set within the studio gallery and library of the artist’s NYC home, being and feeling ‘sedimental’ also plays on sentimental responses to art and object arrangement via the inclusion of select book passages, photographs, and texts as historic, poetic references.

The artist will create a series of photographic prints for this library edition as a record of her own sedimental experiences and past encounters with the sifted remains of environmental events.

More to come in mid-to-late October 2024.
