Themes+Projects gallery presents Touch the Sky by Ashleigh Sumner for the summer exhibition season.
Touch the Sky contains new collages created through Ashleigh’s use of repurposed printed matter such as street posters, luxury brand shopping bags, and Nike shoe boxes. This selection of source material allows Ashleigh to blend text, color, and create vibrant line work in her multi-layered compositions. For her, these fragments of paper are a study in the cultural remnants that we as a society leave behind and work as a visual abstract exploration into our relationship with corporate branding. The artworks in the exhibition are created on circular panels that range in size from 24 to 72 inches in diameter.
