Abigail Doan is an interdisciplinary artist, curator, and writer focused on cultural and environmental preservation. Her studio's materials and objects serve as an archive of forms that can be documented and utilized in adaptable, site-specific ways. Fiber/cloth, paper artifacts, and sculpted biological and geological specimens coexist with her photographic recordings of ideas about loss, memory, and resilience. 


Abigail’s work has been featured by Critical Making Lab, Dwell, Ecoartspace, the Fashion Institute of Technology’s Journal, Hyperallergic, Landviews, Moowon, Plural Magazine, Romanian Creative Week, The Centre for Sustainable Practice in the Arts, Trendtablet, and the United Nations Environment Programme, as well as in print with The New York Times, Amica Magazine (Bulgaria), HAND/EYE, Marie Claire (South Africa), and Surface Design Journal. She has also been profiled in numerous books, including Craftivity, Slow Stitch: Mindful and Contemplative Textile Art, Fiber Art Today, The LAND/an art site (retrospective publication), Green Guide for Artists, and the Earthkeepers Handbook.

Beyond the exhibition of her projects, Abigail has served as an advisor and curator for cultural preservation initiatives and as an art director for documentary film and multimedia projects on historic archaeological sites. Her journalism portfolio includes articles on environmental design, place-based narratives, women working with fiber/textiles as empowerment, and art exhibition texts. She attended Princeton University before matriculating to Purchase College, where she was awarded a BFA, summa cum laude. Her post-graduate studies include coursework with the Center for Books Arts, the International Center for Photography, and Magnum Photos. 

She lives between the U.S. and Europe and is the Archivist and Cultural Program Manager of the Haemimont Foundation
