Textiles
Residency Dates: July 2024
Studio H Canada is thrilled to welcome Ashlee Banxxs, an emerging, textile artist and designer from Atlanta, Georgia, USA as the Artist in Residence during July!
While at SHC, Ashlee will be developing a new form of textile art inspired by sustainability and abstract form; “As a sustainable artist, I prioritize using eco-friendly and recycled materials in my art practice to minimize waste and environmental impact”. Through giving new life to discarded items, Ashlee strives to send a powerful message about environmental awareness while creating beautiful, meaningful pieces, that enrich out spaces.
“By consciously selecting and repurposing items for my artwork, I aim to inspire others to consider sustainability in their consumption and disposal habits.”

Lovely! I am currently working on a quilt made of repurposed men’s shirts. The cotton in good shirting is, after year so wear, soft and comfortable, and seems a natural for baby quilts.
