Locator 33: Becoming Lichen
We’re thrilled to announce that Abi Hubbard has been selected for Locator 33: Becoming Lichen with Simon Whitehead!
Abi is a Cardiff-based multidisciplinary artist working at the crossroads of art, ecology, and spirituality. Her practice blends costume, performance, and painting to explore the otherworldly in everyday life.
Inspired by nature’s oddities—like lichens, slime moulds, and bryozoans—Abi uses the sculptural body to question identity and celebrate difference. She’s passionate about queer ecology and reimagining society through the lens of the natural world.
Currently in residence at G39, Abi is experimenting with biomaterials like cork, latex, and botanical dyes to create wearable art. Her work will feature at Supernormal Festival 2025.
Abi says, “Sharing this mindset in a woodland rich with lichen would be a dream.”
