Metis; male bodied, feminine people, captures the subtleties of modern gender and the way their unique environment encapsulates a notion of expressive style. Abigail’s subjects are joined in celebration on women's day held at the Blue Diamond Society, the main NGO in Kathmandu that supports the LGBT community. This hub reinforces confidence through community and allows her subjects to be photographed unguarded and of pure self expression.  While Nepal has official recognition of the third gender within their national census, the first positive step in paving stronger acceptance of sexual and gender minorities, their efforts to lead a normal life are still being contested. Finding true connection with her subjects is what drives Abigail's portrait photography, her subject's join the bind of tradition and the contemporary and reveal a graceful celebration of their personal femininity.

Abigail Varney studied part time for two years at PSC before moving to New York in 2012 to pursue her career and explore her international potential. Since then, Abigail has enjoyed successful exhibitions at Tinning Street Gallery, Melbourne Comedy Festival and the National Portrait Gallery in Canberra.  Her work has also been published in Frankie magazine, Small Werld and online at ABC2. As an emerging creative, Abigail is already achieving great feats and is definitely someone worth following. Congratulations Abigail!
