statement
Ashman has developed strong themes within her practice based on the photographic image.
Ashman's studies of deaf people signing, have led to work in which she addresses issues of religious faith, spirituality and emotion. Hands feature as a recurring theme in her images, whether re affirming positive qualities of human nature or as a means of expression.
