Ashira Siegel Fox is a maximalist mixed media artist with decades of experience incorporating a diverse range of mediums and techniques into her practice. From ceramics and glasswork to silkscreening, sewing, street art, and experimental photography, Fox's voraciously curious nature has led her down unbeaten paths, allowing for shifts and flow within her work.

In her current work, Ashira uses personal ephemera saved over the years, fiber-based mixed media, her mom's old sewing machine, and a cameraless photography technique called Scanography to create digital photos of physical collages made from tiny pieces of hand-painted and sewn papers. The ephemeral nature of her collages question the physical artwork's existence in the digital age, as the pieces reshape and potentially reappear in new works, solidifying her pieces as both artwork and documentation of their creations.

Ashira's artwork embodies her endless curiosity and is informed by the dichotomies that have made up her existence, bridging lifetimes of messy edges and mismatched parts into something that makes beautiful, if sometimes chaotic, sense outside of her body.

While her process is rooted in experimentation and play, it speaks to the fractures and splits experienced throughout life, showcasing the ways in which we stitch ourselves back together in perfectly imperfect ways, often creating beauty out of chaos. Her unique visual language is a reflection of her ADHD, evidenced by the kinetic ways in which she creates, easily layering techniques and pushing the boundaries of what she can do with her materials.

Ashira is largely a self-taught artist and has honed her ‘tool box’ of creative and artistic skills over the decades, while discovering the pathways through the forests of her own curiosity. She’s currently based in Southern California, where she lives and works, and there's no place she'd rather be than right here, right now.
