    About The Work

    For this new work "Monument (to A Future Self)" Aston was inspired by our current socio-political environment. Aston created this bright work to represent a trophy or monument towards a more optimistic future, for the self or others. Acknowledging current events, "Monument (to a Future Self)" asks how we can do better, and what best future-self can we embody to get there. 

    Cool aqua blue reminiscent of the clear California-sky/ocean floats beneath a gleaming yellow sun. In contrast to the recent ominous smoky wildfire skies and the darkness of our times, this work presents a bright, colorful prayer for the future. 

    This work signifies a new direction within Aston's oeuvre. It is the first time she's worked with color blocking, painted geometric shapes, and flat colors. Through this evolution, Aston maintains her signature astounding attention to detail, color, and form.

    To heighten the shape's impact, Aston elevates the cut-out with an intricate structure of pins beneath the work, thereby creating dramatic shadows.
