CURRENT & UPCOMING

 
This year, Reynolds is working towards a solo show Lease which will open across both spaces at Newlyn Art Gallery and The Exchange from late November ‘25 until April ‘26. Newlyn's light filled upper gallery will be filled with new and existing works in glass, while at the Exchange Gallery, a new immersive video work: A Book of Holes, will be showing. With a soundtrack of dance music made from samples recorded from the holes in a local quarry - this immersive film assembles a fast-paced array of footage, connecting from the present back into deep time using historic archive footage.

In spring, Abigail’s sculpture Trilobite is joining over 90 sculptures in the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. Originally commissioned for Chatsworth, Trilobite is from the series Anthronauts which invites visitors to see in a non-human way. The curved corten steel sculpture is pierced with 120 glass lenses of various focal lengths. This work echoes how the trilobite, an extinct marine animal with turret eyes, viewed its surroundings.

Kelp Glass Roundel and the film of it’s making is currently part of a year-long display at the Sheffield Museum. The exhibition considers what colour can tell us about the natural world and how light is key to how we see and understand colour. It concludes by looking at how artists today use natural colours and materials to create meaning in their work.  

In 2024, Reynolds completed a permanent commission Gregorian for Hospital Rooms at Longreach Psychiatric Unit in Redruth. July saw her solo show of sculptural work in glass at Roche Court. She also spent the month of September on a residency at Gate 27 in Istanbul.

Her permanent commission Tre (2022) can be seen in the great library window at Kresen Kernow, the Cornish archive. She talks about her approach to making Tre in this YouTube video.

Other permanently installed works in public spaces can be seen at Rambert HQ Southbank where Mim is in the foyer, and in the events space at Porthmeor studios, where her work Porthmeor invites you to look at the bach through a pane of glass made from the materials of the beach. Her Elliptical Reading Window remains in situ at The Box Plymouth.
