Intro

Ash Inc Exhibition


A show about Pompeii and ashes, the title comes from the name of the artist’s grandfather’s firm: A.S.H. were his initials. “The idea of ‘Pompeii’ bound the seemingly disparate items together as a metaphor for things cataclysmically lost, long buried, later rediscovered, excavated, and put to new uses. As it happens, this also describes the individual trajectories of most of my works.” (MH)
