Abi Hodson is a transdisciplinary artist and facilitator living between Kjipuktuk/Halifax and Tiohtià:ke/Montréal. Their practice is grounded in fibres and collage. Through video, movement, sculpture, and zine-making, they construct a language of sensory entanglements to research the real and manufactured space between ourselves and the material world (between the tongue and what it tastes, between our bodies and the environments we build). Through their work, Abi seeks to spark curiosity, delight, and generative discordance.
 
With a Bachelor of Design from Toronto Metropolitan (2017) and an MFA in Studio Arts, Fibres and Material Practices from Concordia University (Expected: May 2026), Hodson’s research has been supported by the Canada Council for the Arts as well as the Jorisch Family Residency Award and the Elspeth McConnell Fine Arts Internship Award. They have shown work at artist-run-centres, galleries, and festivals including articule, Fonderie Darling, FOFA Gallery, and Nocturne Festival.
