Ashley J Chan (she/her) is a Chinese-American artist and designer based in Chicago, IL. As a book artist and printmaker, she uses printed media to explore identity and narrative. Her work delves into themes of the Asian-American experience, womanhood, and the shifting attachments to those identities based on the environments she exists in. Through playful structures and sculptural imagery, her work serves as a microcosm to assess her own story; chronicling her conflicting balance between heritage, contemporary realities, and cultural appreciation.
