Dena Ashbolt is a perceptual artist who consistently seeks to capture the nuances of human experience and the shifts in our perception of reality. Her signature cinematic drawing technique serves as a core methodology, becoming a deliberate engagement with time itself — its relentless flow, its subtle passing, and the echoes it leaves behind on our consciousness.
The collection of works in this exhibition is a personal chronicle, a reflection of the artist's studio journey with time. With the sale of her home and a renovation project in Italy, this studio is gone, lending a resonance and a sense of conclusion to these pieces. For Ashbolt, exhibiting these works together feel like a retrospective, marking not just a significant turning point in her artistic evolution, but a chapter change in her life itself.
