The latest resident artist in VFD's street gallery is Ash Ferlito. Ash's work, Felt Like, will be installed here for the month of October, exhibiting simultaneously alongside her work, *Coming in Hot, at White Cubicle Gallery. Ash Ferlito is a curious observer with a lust for life. Synthesising thoughts and feelings with imagery is a way to slow the spinning of wheels and reflect on the weird, wonderful, horrible world she's confused and euphorically charmed by. Working with painting, sculpture and video, the materials shift in response to ideas and environment, the novelty of new materials provides great freedom. Personal narratives underpin the work but you are free to make up your own. Freedom is important!
