Ash Pales create sculptures and functional works in wood. At Yale University (2020) and the Royal College of Art (2023), she completed Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in architecture, which guided her towards an interest in the physical crafting of objects and spaces. Alongside her studies, she has worked with artists and architects in the US, Europe, and Japan, exploring traditional and contemporary methods of craft at many scales. Originally from the USA, she now lives and works in London, transforming salvaged timber into forms which highlight the spirit of the material and encourage a connection with the natural world.
