About the Artist and Work:
Ash Wilson (1991, Canada) is a mixed-media artist residing on the unceded land of the ləḱʷəŋən People, Victoria, BC.

Ash’s practice blends critical theory with hands-on experimentation, embracing complexity, entanglement, and play as a resistance against binary and reductive thinking, and myths of ideological purity.

She received a Bachelor of Fine Arts with Distinction in Visual Arts Honours (2026) from the University of Victoria, along with a Diploma in Visual Arts (2014) and Arts and Science (2013) from Camosun College, Victoria. She will begin a Master of Fine Arts at the Slade School of Fine Art (UCL) in London, England in fall 2026.

Working across installation, sculpture, painting, textile, and digital media, Ash’s work engages with landscape theory, community resilience, and climate anxiety. Her latest work, made from handmade paper, paper clay, pigment, and found debris, proposes a more honest depiction of her environment. The resulting landscapes are messy, impure, and in flux.
