Who is Normal? Ashley Normal is a contemporary New England artist making observations in the familiar, finding the bizarre and absurd in the everyday.

Ashley Normal holds the understanding that everyone creates and lives in their own reality. Often pulling from this relationship and other life experiences, her work stretches across various media and deals with: mental illness, memory, taboo, normality, sexuality, and gender roles. Normal makes observations in what is already there, finding the bizarre and absurd in the familiar. She has been lar

gely influenced by modern design, Dadaism, Pop Art, Surrealism, Confessional art, and the Feminist art movements. With the belief that art enriches the lives of all human beings, Normal constantly seeks opportunities to foster new and unexpected views of the world. Engaging the viewer in play, the work hides and reveals; illuminating shame, guilt, and the socially forbidden. Normal’s work has been exhibited in several solo and group shows in New England and beyond including: STUDIO 659, Whiting, IN; Brooklyn Art Library, Brooklyn, NY; 3S Artspace, Portsmouth, NH; and Buoy Gallery, Kittery, ME. Normal is pursuing her MFA through Massachusetts College of Art + Design and splits her time between Coastal Maine and Boston.

Februllage | Day 2 | Toast

Toast revisits a body of work titled “Women as Food”, which I explored while nursing my daughter in 2021–2022. During that time, I became acutely aware of the ways women are expected to transform themselves into nourishment. Drawing on imagery of the domestic and absurd, this piece reflects how care, labor, and the female body are anticipated, expected, and consumed. As women and caregivers, we are repeatedly asked to give, feed, hold, and often to disappear into care. Collage allows me to look closely and reveal the strange and familiar in the everyday, examining domesticity and the quiet labor embedded in care.

I am deeply grateful for this daily Februllage practice and for the community making alongside me. Each year, I look forward to how this project reconnects me to my practice while also pushing me to stretch, explore, and revisit throughlines not yet exhausted. Thank you !

Februllage | Day 1 | Boom

Boom can be fireworks, or the sound of doors being kicked in, or the sound ICE makes when warmth and love finally penetrates the cold.

Februllage is by far my favorite making season of the year. It is a time to connect with the global collage community and to process the world around us. Since the age of DADA, collage has always been a way of responding to culture, history, and lived experience. I hope you will join me in making time for joy, play, experimentation, and also for unearthing difficult truths about our current moment. Collage has long been a language of resistance, witnessing, and saying what cannot easily be said.
