Artist Bio

I, Ashley Wetmore-Caissie am an emerging artist from Barrie Ontario, with a recent Undergraduate Degree in Fine Arts with honours, from York University and an Advanced Diploma in Fine Arts from Georgian College. My art practice ranges in multidisciplinary forms but mainly focuses on sculpture and experimenting with a variety of different materials. Specifically looking at dark investigations of the human body and our relations to mortality (mento mori if you will). However, there is a deeper and richer element of my work that emerges and transforms the viewers perspective through light and material elements. My creations search for how humanity utilizes light both practically, and metaphorically within my art practice.
