Eversion is a creative project that aims to make sense of a new reality by peering through a fantastical lens. Using photography, poetry, textile manipulation, heat transfer processing and embroidery, "real" is re-examined from the inside out. Abbey Michelle has been wandering in dreams for the last several months. The pandemic’s volatility, uncertainty, anxiety and otherworldly horrors had her yearning for a place of safety and comfort, so she helplessly retreated to her childhood home. Unable to comprehend the reality of global crisis, she found herself reverting back to the magical fantasies of her youth. But rather than dreaming of fairytales, she fantasized about simplicities of a former existence that I never knew I had taken for granted.As life slowly establishes a new obscure balance, her quarantine dreams still persist. In this strange and novel era of human interaction, she wonders what we’ll value most in ourselves and others going forward. Will we engage in the introspective process of eversion, relearning ourselves and those around us—from the inside out?

Abbey absolutely loved being a residential advisor for Pratt's undergraduate community. As an RA, she strove to create a positive living environment designed to bring residents, faculty and students together. Abbey assisted undergraduates as they developed their interpersonal skills while also promoting and sustaining the interaction of social networks among the residential community. She did everything that she could to efficiently and effectively administer a housing program that challenged and supported students to enhance their self-understanding, value community responsibility and learn from their experiences. Abbey maintained a variety of obligations in order to ensure that this objective was achieved, such as: -Kept accurate individual resident records, room condition reports, and wrote incident dispatches -Planned and implemented 24 student-centered hall programs to promote socialization, education, diversity, mental and emotional health, understanding and growth -Designed and developed monthly informational bulletin boards that encouraged diversity, academic involvement, campus engagement, and student health - Scheduled and conducted weekly resident well-being checks and monthly health/safety inspections -Utilized problem-solving skills to address conflict and mediated discussion during ambiguous and/or unexpected situations.
