Shilly Shally

December, 2021

Tiny Town Gallery hosts Shilly Shally, an exhibition by Ash Dahlke (she/her) for the month of January 2022. 


"Shilly Shally is a mixed media exhibition investigating the relationships we have with the objects we surround ourselves with. Specifically, how the things we accumulate become portals that connect us to people and places. The textural experiences we have are the easiest for us to recall; however, the more we think about a specific memory, the more it gradually changes, becoming less grounded in its original reality. I create conglomerations of materials, drawings, and paintings that mimic these realities and falsehoods."


Ash Dahlke is a mixed media artist and educator currently living in Bisbee, AZ. She received her Masters of Fine Arts in Painting from the University of Arizona in 2019 and received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting and Drawing from the University of Wisconsin- Whitewater in 2015. Her work has been exhibited at the University of Arizona Museum of Art, Museum of Contemporary Art in Tucson, and Tubac Center of the Arts. She recently completed an artist residency at The Land With No Name outside of Tucson
