Ashton Ludden
My work explores our relationship with other living creatures as we become further removed from the natural world. I primarily create detailed prints using multiple printmaking processes, such as hand-engraving on copper, monotype, and wood engraving. More recently, I've been also creating large weavings from salvaged plastic, experimenting with clay, and mural work. Through my work, I share the wild around us and consider our everyday actions that affect it directly or indirectly. My work aims to evoke a renewal of attentiveness, conversation, and respect for other living beings.
