Across the Borderline, collaborative works by Chris Ashley and Douglas Witmer

Douglas Witmer and Chris Ashley live on opposite ends of the United States: Witmer lives in Philadelphia, PA, and Ashley lives in Oakland, CA. Witmer makes paintings, drawings, and sculpture, and Ashley makes paintings, drawings, and digital images with HTML. Over the past year their friendship has developed by crossing transcontinental borders via email, weblogs, and cell phone. Their regular sharing of written messages, images, and conversation has shaped a dialogue that points them towards crossing the border into the territory of concrete collaboration. They view an opportunity to work together as a way to both exploit shared values and confront contrasting methodologies and tastes.

Witmer and Ashley share an approach to abstract image making that zigzags back and forth across the line between the expressive and geometric. Witmer’s drawings made with ink, acrylic, gesso and tape have a tendency towards blacks, whites, grays, and low key colored lines and solid blocks teetering on the edge of solidity and dissolution; Ashley tends towards high-keyed colors across the spectrum used in hard-edged shapes that overlap and often result in transparency and gradation. The progress of their collaboration is blogged at acrosstheborderline.com.
Douglas Witmer (Philadelphia, PA) and Chris Ashley (Oakland, CA) open a show of collaborative works on paper next Thursday, January 11, at the University of Dayton in
Dayton, Ohio.
