ASHLEY COLLINS
PAINTING THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SOULS IN THE WORLD.
BOWIE HOUSE / AUBERGE
OPENING THIS WEEKEND
Historical Bookpages
Pages.
Simple Bookpages.
If we hold a page from 1853 in our hand, is it simply a page of writing?... or has this fragile page, over time, like each of us, become something much, much more?
For Collins, a bit of every soul that has touched that page - some eleven generations of friends, lovers, strangers... all imparted just a small bit of themselves within the historic page we hold.
​
That is precious, and for each historical page that becomes part of the work, that love, that life, that cry of pain and joy from a moment in 1853, all translates, all becomes part of the emotion.
All of Collins works, contains hundreds of book pages, a layering of souls.
​
A fingerprint shared.
