center point. The largest project being an encycopedic undertaking
of photographing communities in the Northeastern corridor of the
US, from DC to Boston, entitled Megalopolis. Ashton's work has been
featured in exhibitions in many venues, including the Corcoran
Gallery of Art, Washington Project for the Arts, North Carolina
Museum of Art, Ludwig Forum, Aachen Germany.
Ashton's photographic work is primarily of urban neighborhoods.
Drawn to areas both in transition and communities that have
remained consistently intact. Showing the urban landscape and its'
influence on our thoughts, actions, and imagination. Ashton's new
work documents the small River town of Portsmouth, Ohio. It is the
other side of Appalachia with its fair share of sad history.
