Description
Says Ashley of her work: "My practice is a vessel to present diverse representation and visibility to the African American image, intellect, and spirit. Stitching together language, fiber, steel fabrication, collected ephemera, and collaborative social projects, I unearth the bodies we inhabit and explore the multiplicities within the self. As a maker, a curator, a woman of color, a community member, a little sister, and a daughter, I strive to create space for dialogue, representation, intergenerational exchange, and creative expression."
