Cornelius Dämmrich Reflects on Nascent by Ash Thorp

I don't want to learn what an art piece means, I don't want to look at something that needs a booklet and fancy words to make me feel something. In this case, I feel happiness through the art alone. There's all the right "toolmarks" that speak to me more than a thousand words could. I see the film grain, the subsurface scattering spreading light inside of pill shells and deliberately placed compression artifacts filling the void. It makes me feel, see and think a million good things. That's why I love Ash's art.
