Ashley V. Blalock 2005 to Present

This selection represents the new direction that my work is taking using crochet, needlepoint, and
other traditionally "female" handicrafts.

Due to the nature of the works, many of them cannot be photographed until they are installed in a
gallery and are not yet included in this site. Please check back frequently- works will be posted as soon
as they are installed and photographed in an appropriate setting.
