Ashley Raye Harris
Better Together Resident
Ashley Harris is an artist and educator who uses glass to explore the complexities of color, fragility, and identity. Her work unpacks the effects of viewing bodies as artifacts through creating fragmented, fragile sculptures. She breaks apart the contrasting, this or that, approach to understanding BIPOC experiences and instead transforms the focus towards intersectional conversations between people. Upon graduating with her MFA in Glass from RISD in 2021, she participated in the MASS MoCA's Studio Residency program. She was a 2022 Pilchuck Glass School Fellow and was the Glass Studio Artist in Residence at the Rochester Institute of Technology during the 2022-20233 academic year. Ashley was a 2023 fellow at Socrates Sculpture Park in New York City.
