Hello!
Abi Joson is a fiber artist based in Manila who lovingly crafts whimsical soft sculptures and cozy wool paintings from a tiny corner of her bedroom. Her work celebrates softness—not just in texture, but in spirit—exploring how tenderness and vulnerability can be powerful in their own right. With a playful and heartfelt touch, Abi has shared her creations in various exhibitions across Metro Manila, turning wool into warmth, and quiet moments into art.
