About the Artist and Work:
Ashley de Kroon is an emerging photographer and artist currently completing her undergraduate degree in Visual Arts and Computer Science at the University of Victoria. She is interested in combining abstraction with technology through unconventional methods. Ashley primarily captures self portraits and nature scenes in her practice.
For this series, Through the Window, she experiments with merging long exposures and fast motion. Photographed traveling at 100 km/h through a moving car’s window, it explores the challenge of abstracting the landscape while preserving moments of Highway 97 in British Columbia’s Interior. Using a 0.5-second exposure, she tracks individual subjects with the camera, allowing parts of the environment to remain in focus while others dissolve into the motion. Through this process, she mimics the shifting focus of an eye as it flicks from each new subject that appears Through the Window.
