A. Franzen-Sheehan

Fair Warning, works by Abigail Franzen Sheehan at Zynka Gallery 2026.

Abigail Franzen-Sheehan is an artist exploring the nexus of feminism, politics, and history. Drawing on imagery from the 1600s to the present, her assemblages layer altered historical sources with personal and domestic materials. Through aesthetic and procedural choices such as hand-stitching and embroidery; leaving raw edges; and using reclaimed textiles; her work situates traditionally gendered labor within male-dominated art historical forms. She raises questions of power, inheritance, and domestic space in the novel forms.
