About the Artist:
Abby Kamagate is an artist based in Columbus, Ohio. Rooted in her identity as a mother artist, observing and collaborating with the natural world are foundational to her creative process. Play, mistakes, and wonder inform her practice, which bridges multiple disciplines and mediums.
This exhibition is presented in collaboration with Reimagining Columbus.
Leave Good Soil examines the connections between history and the environment, as well as our approaches to managing resources and knowledge for future generations. Through collage, bead weaving, and installation, artist Abby Kamagate assumes a hands-on approach to archiving and activating our present, and imaging how the soil we leave will impact the future. From her unique lens as the documentarian of Reimagining Columbus, Leave Good Soil commemorates the transformative stories revealed through the project.
