Catherine Ashley is a multimedia designer and performance artist presently based in Providence, RI. Her work is designed to interrogate and challenge societal understandings of temporality and the motivations of biological processes. Incorporating backgrounds in film, animation, design, music composition and theater performance, she creates installation-based work situated under the umbrella of time, gesture and performance emphasized by visual and auditory experiences. As an educator, Ashley prioritizes mutual learning and development through collaboration, iterative processes and self as medium.
