Cougar is the most searched type of porn, the clickbait claims, making it my lucky year to turn fifty, to turn away the young men who follow my crow’s feet across the room at fundraisers and wedding receptions, their arms jostling my lumbar saddlebags, their hellos mimicking the nod they offer their grandpas and sugar […]
Kristin Abigail
As a multi-media visual artist, KRISTIN ABIGAIL is captivated by the process of creating raw, unpolished pieces; playful lines balanced with soothing but vibrant colors and minimalistic compositions. Kristin’s work process is impulsive, her style approachable, and her art is accessible. Photography has been Kristin’s profession for 8 years, but in 2020 while she sat at home on unemployment, she felt herself being drawn to the non-digital arts of analog collage and calligraphy. Kristin reconnected with her adolescent-self who had doodles scribbled all over her school books and passed many a peaceful hour scrapbooking in the quiet of her childhood basement. Kristin believes that art acts as an access point to: freedom, inner peace, and the expression of pure originality. She believes that everyone is born to be a creator, and is active in amplifying and financially backing black and brown femme artists, as well as supporting art spaces that focus on social and financial inclusion. To Kristin, making art is an act of resistance.
