Ashley Griffiths is a painter creating layered works of abstraction in bold colour palettes on canvas or MDF board. Their work intertwines multiple layers of shapes to create self-initiated composites and colours, boundless translucency and intriguing depth. The work is structured around a selection of shapes inspired from initial sketches focusing on simplified tonality in colour, with a particular fondness of circles, triangles, squares and polygons. On ascertaining said structure, the work develops through intuition, constantly balancing colour, shape and composition until a dimension appears. There is no premeditated pictorial outcome but rather a fixation on the process and an excitable intrigue into what will unfold. The preoccupation process is routed in a belief of cathartic expression and an investigation into harnessing untapped emotions further facilitated through music. Griffiths views her work as world building, creating what they refer to as Inner Landscapes aiming to shine a light on a world beneath surface level, inspired by memory, emotion and musicality.  The imagery aims to reflect the ideology that our inner emotional world is a continuous layering of memories and emotions, constantly shifting and impacted by the existing layers.
