Hello, friends! I’m Ashley Eyster. Welcome to my brain,

AKA the junk drawer. My work is an amalgamation of my love

for tiny and seemingly insignificant objects, recycled and

thrifted materials I scavenge, and the media I consume.

Even the little things contain stories and anything can become

an unsuspecting souvenir. I find discarded and forgotten

objects with the hope of honoring their history as I tangle

together my assumptions about the object and insert myself

into its narrative. I spin these anonymous heirlooms

one-by-one into intricate webs of broken memories and

frayed relationships, making open-ended memoirs

for an unreliable narrator.

By scrambling the mundane, I speak a language of cultural debris.
