LAY OF THE LAND | Frances Ashforth
September 1 – October 28, 2023
July/August 2023
Ashforth is an artist who spends a great deal of time outdoors, hiking, fly fishing, studying the land & edges of habitats. Her work has been shown in Canada, Europe and across the US as well as featured in Orion Magazine, Carrier Pigeon Magazine, Art in Print, The Adventure Journal & "Headwaters" by author Dylan Tomine with Patagonia Books.
For her monotypes, paintings and drawings, Ashforth looks with intention to the land and heavily researches the environments she finds herself in. Whether arid basin & range, watershed or coastal wetland, her spare images share memory of place. Her hope is that the subtle tensions observed between land, water & sky will ultimately strike a chord of respect for the raw beauty found in the landscape.
Come meet the artist and join us for Opening Night on Friday, September 1st from 5:00-7:30pm.
