Place was more than just inspiration for Ashley Glassburn during her time as an artist in residence at Point Pelee National Park — it was built directly into her creations.
Interested in materials and their connections to where they come from, the Interdisciplinary & Critical Studies professor used minerals harvested from the park’s shorelines to create her pottery.
