Ashley
Nardone
I often catch myself in the act of collecting bits of nature, holding scraps of earth and turning them over in my hands. I brighten seeing light spill across a surface, or stop to watch the wind tickle the trees and make its leaves dance. Making art is an extension of this curiosity.
The sculptural works I create explore organic forms and integrate nature’s materials. Each piece is guided by observation and precision, seeking out abstractions which can be made solid.
I invite you slow your eyes down and see the things around you differently.
