5 Questions for Contemporary Practice with Doug Ashford


"The forms in my working process these days are chosen for both their factual reportage and their imagistic drift.

Although sometimes hard to see, political disaster creates events of extraordinary love because it makes the enduring of life imaginable beyond dark practical economies of getting and selling."
