Ash Healy
Ash Healy is a Mancunian photographer, multimedia artist and a recent graduate of the University for the Creative Arts in Farnham. Healy works in both analogue and digital formats with a passion for experimenting with a range of materials and printmaking methods, referencing historical processes and emphasising the craft involved. Her practice is considered documentary based with prevalent themes, including explorations of identity and human relationships; with sustainability and the environment also being a significant interest.
Healy’s current project involves re-enactments and performance, as a way of sharing memories and sacred moments with her Nana, who recently passed. This studio-based series acts as a personal form of grieving, whilst simultaneously being a celebration of her Nana’s life. Healy takes an innovative approach to the experience of grief by impersonating both herself and her Nana, to create a series of everyday familial scenarios. Giving the audience an opportunity to glimpse at a loving, intergenerational relationship and the moments that will be missed.
