About
Caroline Ashley is a British emerging artist based in London. Her practice explores assemblage, soft sculpture; referencing repetition and hand driven processes. Textiles and fabrics are at the forefront, working intuitively; collecting, thinking through her hands, using vibrant found objects.
“My work explores pattern as a negotiation of our entangled environment. Repetition and pattern are within our built landscape, woven threads clothe and protect us, ecosystems grow and flow through organic sequences of movement and lifecycles. The human-digital encounter is facilitated through pattern recognition and algorithmic systems, connecting us to cascading global networks. Humans exhibit recurring behavioural patterns, engaging in both positive and negative routines and macro to micro cycles of damage and repair. My work invites the viewer to fragment their reflection and engage in spatial play, by representing multiple perspectives simultaneously; obscuring and revealing the environment encouraging active participation.”
Ashley graduated with a Masters in Sculpture from the Royal College of Art in 2023 and obtained a First Class BA Honours in Fine Art from Chelsea College of Art in 2022.
