There is a space that I enter when I create.
A space that reflects myself, and all that surrounds me.
A space where I express myself freely, a space where I problem solve.
I am safe from external pressures, I am safe with myself.
I create from a place of wonder, adoration and worship.
Worship for all that once was, what is, and what will be.
I dedicate myself to the practice of creation.
I devote my soul to the process.
I wish for my art to be a celebration of life, nature and the perseverance of the human spirit.
There is a light that never goes out.
Life is suffering, life is joy.
Abbey Reid is a multi-disciplinary artist based in Victoria, Australia.
Her exploration of dichotomies in life is vibrantly illustrated through abstraction and interactive mixed-media installations.
These immersive hand-made works make use of space and movement to provide an elevated sensory experience.
