Ashley Joi is a multidisciplinary artist whose work fuses a myriad of techniques and materials to communicate emotion. Often channeling the resilient practices of her African ancestors, Ashley Joi disguises layered meaning within her work through literal symbolism, composition, and subject. The Artist also incorporates found objects, natural materials, and food items as a reference to her African-American heritage and the development of a rich and diverse culture manifested with limited resources.
