Our Dreams are a Form of Divination | Ashley Page

Featuring artist Ashley Page, Our Dreams are a Form of Divination is an ongoing inquiry in alternative ways to be in communion with the world around us. Composed of our thoughts, memories, and emotions and recycled into alternative scenarios, dreams untether our sense of reality and invite us to consider the possibilities. Through sculpture, printmaking and collage,  Page explores various methods of divination and our innate connection to the natural world. Merging time, space and possibility, this exhibition is an invitation to stretch our imaginations while contemplating radical new meaning. 

Ashley Page is an interdisciplinary artist living and working in Portland, ME. Having obtained her BFA in Sculpture and a minor in Public Engagement from Maine College of Art & Design, her studio practice and curatorial projects are vehicles for storytelling, representation and intergenerational exchange. Merging textile, papermaking, and printmaking techniques with spatial sensibilities, her work is often a metaphor for the body, a vessel for spirit, or a container for ephemera. In 2022, she was awarded the Amelia Peabody Award for Sculpture by St. Botolph Club Foundation, and has taught workshops at Waterfall Arts, Peters Valley, the University of Maine Orono and more. Her curatorial and studio practice has been seen in the Portland Museum of Art, Hunterdon Art Museum, Congress Square Park, the Center for Afrofuturist Studies, The Abyssinian Meeting House, Cove Street Arts, and others. Page is presently the Studio and Programs Manager at Indigo Arts Alliance, where she works within the intersection of art and activism. Website: ashleypagestudio.com
