Artist Statement for Ashly Metcalf

Ashly Ariel Metcalf
Statement
I am a conceptual installation artist. Most of the work I create cannot exist without the space or site in which it is exhibited. My materials primarily consist of ceramics and yarn. By “drawing” (using yarn as line) through a 3 dimensional space I create atmospheres or environments in which the viewer can be engulfed. Many of the pieces refer to astronomical space inspired by String Theory, the theory of relativity, angles of parallelism, black holes, and other theories of physics. Despite the macro scale implied by most of the work I also try to include microscopic points of reference by comparing the nature of the universe in it’s entirety to the minute sections of cell structures and organelles. My work is inspired by methods of Craft and references of Heritage Art while building upon those movements a different kind of form and language by opening, altering, and expanding, its traditional materiality.
