Ashley Landrum’s creative framework was constructed at an early age by her Cajun heritage in Southwestern Louisiana, teaching her a reverence for beautifully hand-made objects with an economy of means and form, that are both exquisitely aesthetic and adept at performing their function. Interested in expressing the physicality and integrity of materials through the act of making, Landrum pushes objecthood toward the phenomenological in congruence with the domestic as site specificity. Landrum’s curiosity and ambitious experimentation span across many mediums and modalities yet all contain a divergence of embodiment that has become the hallmark of her work.

Addressing issues of artistic labor, power structures, and commerce, Landrum controls all aspects of her cultural production from a foundation of purpose and intention of fluency.

Landrum earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Art Center College of Design and a Master of Fine Arts degree from University of California, Riverside. Landrum lives and works in Los Angeles.
