Ashley Eva Brock’s art practice centers on the psychological concept of post-traumatic growth, which is the kind of wisdom, strength, and resilience that can only come from doing the work to heal incurred trauma. The manifestation of this work falls at the intersection of multidisciplinary conceptual art, psychology, and ritual magic with community as witness and participant, and is all thread though with a writing practice. The intention of their work is to identify and explore intangible traumas, psychological blockages, and harmful narratives, bring them into the tangible realm through art-making so that they can be confronted and physically held and manipulated, and then fed back into the psyche in a transformed state to bring about a shift in both and individual’s life, as well as the community connected to them.

Ashley holds a BFA from California College of the Arts (2012), and later returned as an adjunct professor. They are currently pursuing a Masters in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University to deepen and fortify their art practice.
