About the Artist

Ashley Teamer’s collages explore the relationships between the body, nature, space, and time. These themes are represented by original snapshots and found materials that are sewn and glued together. As a visual artist and DJ, she uses sound to creatively intervene with indoor and outdoor architecture, revealing the malleability of our built environment. Teamer’s current work explores land and body as inseparable. Levees and seawalls create an illusion of separation and safety between civilization and the sea. Similarly, skin is perceived as a protective barrier that completely separates our internal organs from nature. However, consistent flooding and the ubiquity of cancer reveal that both structures are porous. Her work imagines a future where we live more harmoniously with water.  

Teamer received her MFA from Yale University in 2022. She has had solo exhibitions at Siena Heights University, Adrian, MI and 4th Ward Project Space, Chicago, IL. Teamer’s work has also been included in group exhibitions at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, CA; Everson Museum of Art, Syracuse, NY; and Antenna Gallery, New Orleans, LA; among others. She has been an Artist-in-Residence at Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, ACRE, and Ox-Bow School of Art.
