Ashley Mercurio’s work forefronts the haphazard process, where image contours are loosely structured and then fleshed out with a variety of collage, paint, and assemblage approaches. For Perfekt, Mercurio began with an origin work, a large-scale mixed-media work structured largely by a pattern of irregular fabric patches. From this work, she subdivided it into eight sections, traced the contours of each, and then made a series of eight companion works based on the contours of the original work. Additionally, she extended the collage and paint process to a set of irregularly shaped sculptures. Perfekt is a tongue-in-cheek reflection of an unwieldy and improvisatory process.
