Memories rarely arrive in neat, organized lines. They come as flashes, fragments, textures, and colors, overlapping, contradicting, and colliding. In Until Death, Ashley Ferracci captures this elusive, layered quality of memory in a collection of deeply personal works that function as visual mementos.
Ferracci’s art is more than imagery. It is a conversation between mediums. Paint markers, traditional paint, and unexpected materials mingle on her surfaces, creating a rich tapestry of detail. Each piece is like opening a memory box: you find what you expect, but also tiny surprises that unlock feelings you forgot you had stored away.
The mixed-media approach serves her subject perfectly. Memories, like collages, are constructed, part truth, part embellishment, part mystery. By layering materials and allowing textures to build, Ferracci mirrors the way experiences accumulate over time. The viewer is invited not only to see her memories, but to feel the shifting weight of nostalgia and intimacy embedded in them.
Driven by moments gathered throughout her relationship, Until Death is, at its core, a love letter. It is tender, whimsical, and quietly profound, a reminder that the smallest details often carry the deepest meaning. Through careful technique and a fearless mix of mediums, Ferracci transforms recollections into works that are more than the sum of their parts: portals into the emotional landscapes we all carry within us.
