BFA Alumni
Major: Sculpture
Graduation Year: 2020
Artist Statement:
My practice is a vessel used to present larger conversations of representation and visibility of the African American image, intellect, and spirit. I look to explore future possibilities of expression for myself and my peers using craft techniques and research processes. Stitching together language, paper, steel, and my community, I present my perspective of the vulnerability and grace within the black experience. By constructing a new world of possibilities, my practice continues cultivating the generosity of exchange and conversation. To begin unlearning and relearning the histories of untold memories, stories and truths is to reconfigure the way we interact with the present. This, in turn, begins to unfold possibilities for the future. My work is an ode to the people who came before me, a reflection of the time in which I currently reside, and a point of reference for those in the future.
Biography:
Ashley Page is an interdisciplinary artist living and working in Portland, ME. She presently holds a BFA in Sculpture and a Minor in Public Engagement from Maine College of Art. Envisioning a world where individuals are given the autonomy to represent themselves, she uses paper, steel and fiber to explore different modes of black portraiture and identity expression. As a maker, a woman of color, a little sister, and a daughter, she creates space for dialogue, intergenerational exchange, and creative expression. Most recently, she has been awarded the 2020 Heart and Soul Student Award by Maine Campus Compact for her work on the colleges 2020 Resilience Week and is the 2020 -2019 Stephen and Palmina Pace Endowed Scholar at Maine College of Art. Following her 2018 - 2019 Warren Public Engagement Fellowship at MECA, she was the inaugural Public Engagement Intern at Indigo Arts Alliance and worked as a studio assistant with Daniel Minter, as well being awarded the Professional Development and Creative Entrepreneurship Grant. Her practice resides in the power of communal growth, collaborative learning, and mutual understanding.
