Ashley Brossart explores sculptural architectural forms, maps, place and environment through observation and collected imagery creating a synthesized and renewed sense of place and experience emphasizing the intersection of science and art, natural occurring elements and human made place.

Brossart’s artwork spans studio work to public murals and installation, private and personal collections and commissions. Her installations and murals emphasize community connection while extending her exploration of place into shared environments.

She holds a Master of Science in Organization Development and Human Resources from the University of Louisville.

My three dimensional architectural collage assemblages depict a future-scape place at the intersection of our natural world and human-made buildings found in cities. I am influenced by visual and experiential systems, architecture, and the current forward moving socio-cultural trends of change focused on the development of people, place and rebirth between the systems that are part of our physical places and relationship to place and one another. My intention is for my work to act as a model of a potential place, existing as a catalyst for expanding the imagination for the viewer. I place an emphasis on the influence of naturally occurring elements and environments in our human-built environment and architecture through the use of organic and inorganic pattern, shape, texture.

Often, my works are created to be experienced both individually and as a whole, similar to visiting a place within a larger location or as an individual within a group. I develop each model by photographing and drawing a specific site or series of sites, finding repeating and contrasting patterns and shapes that emerge through collaging images to create a new image reference, ‘map’ or form.
