Ashley Bickerton

Anwwlb 2

A vibrant and intricately layered composition, Ashley Bickerton's *Anwwlb 2* merges acrylic paint and digital print on paper, creating a dynamic tension between hand-crafted and technologically mediated image-making. Insect pins punctuate the surface, functioning both as physical intrusions into the pictorial plane and as deliberate nods to the practices of specimen collection and scientific classification. The work reflects Bickerton's ongoing fascination with the intersection of consumer culture, natural systems, and the constructed nature of identity.
