Ugly Lies the Bone

In the heart of Florida’s space coast, NASA’s shuttle program is ending just as Jess returns home from her third tour in Afghanistan. Scarred from an IED explosion, Jess navigates extreme pain from third-degree burns, her frayed relationships with her sister and ex-boyfriend, and the reality that the home she is returning to is no longer the one she left. With the help of an experimental virtual reality therapy, Jess begins to heal her wounds in an aching journey about recovery and being seen in Lindsey Ferrentino’s award-winning Ugly Lies the Bone. 

Grappling with identity, physical and emotional pain, and PTSD and trauma recovery. Abigail’s costume design Jess matches her to the scenic color palette, moving from darker blues and baggier silhouettes, to brighter blues and less fabric.

Abigail also served as the makeup and hair designer for the production and designed and painted latex prosthetics for Jess’s face, neck, head, and hands.
