Abbey Gilbert is a photographer based in New York City and has recently earned her BFA in Photography & Video at the School of Visual Arts.

As she navigates through her personal exploration of lesbian sexual chemistry, Abbey Gilbert examines the ambiguous space between comfort and eroticism. Highlighting her magnetism towards nourishment and care, the work is driven by desire and longing, with particular emphasis on relationships with past and present lovers. Diaristic in nature, her mixed media work allows her to assert her lesbian gaze and sexual identity, giving particular agency to her femininity.
