This Blog Post mostly focuses on the artist, Ashley Whitt, providing a short blurb of her biographical information. Rather than dedicating the entire post to talking about her work, it shows a handful of her pieces to let us do the talking.
The article is very easy to follow, very straightforward. Other than the short biographical section, the article is dedicated to displaying her images. Over all Whitt's work comes across as very dark. All of her images seem to have a dark filter or vignette as well as seemingly dark content (like the image above that appears to depict a dad/dying/sick girl). Despite them being so dar however, there seems to be a sort of playfulness to them, which is most apparent towards the end of the post.
This picture provides the best example of her dark playfulness. It looks like a dreamland, giant flowers and fruit, but at the same time, the darkness of the filter make it eerie.
Overall I like her work because of the dark yet playful feel. I particularly liked her multiple me images and the emotion they depict. To see the rest of the article check here.
