Join us to meet and learn more about Rising Residents Ashley Teamer. She will give a short presentation on her work followed by a light dinner and refreshments on Wednesday, January 10th, 6:30pm – 9:00-pm. Registration is required below.

Teamer’s collages explore the relationships between the body, nature, space, and time. She uses painting, sculpture, photography, and sound to creatively intervene with indoor and outdoor architecture revealing the malleability of our built environment. Through layering images, Teamer charts invented landscapes where dialogues between divergent moments and relationships are bridged.

She is working on a project called A World Without Levees, which is an exhibition of large-scale collages that combine archival imagery with present-day photographs to show what New Orleans would look like if levees were transformed into structures that allowed us to live more harmoniously with water.

During her residency, her goal is to photograph every major levee, canal, and water management structure in the city, learn more about the history of the levee system through archival research, discuss her work in progress with friends, family, artists, scientists, and the wider A Studio in the Woods network.
