“Spilling the Tea with Ashe Kaye”
Self Portrait, 2019
BIO
Ashe Kaye is a multidisciplinary artist, photographer and object maker who utilizes advanced 3D technology to explore intersections between gender norms, sexuality and indulgence.
Breaking away from a Mormon upbringing and its strong religious indoctrinations, Ashe developed a highly metaphorical body of work. Discarding traditions, their lens-based and sculptural works present a collection of grotesque imagery critiquing patriarchal systems.
While they received her MFA in Studio Art from the University of Arkansas in 2020, she expanded their practice into an on-going queer performance collaboration with their life partner entitled “Milk and Honey”, a flesh-centric endeavor that lampoons pop culture.
Ashe has exhibited internationally in the USA, Europe, Africa and Asia. Their work has been performed at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art and at TheatreSquared (AR). They has been featured in Idle Class Magazine (USA), Contemporary Badass (UK), and Paradice Palase (NYC). They are still looking for a reliable source for chicken hearts.
