Sam Ashford is a painter, sculptor, performer, writer, seeker, and collector. In 2007, he found an archive of photographic slides. Since then, the collection has expanded and contracted, taking on different organization as it continues to change shape. His stories emerge from the slides in the form of factual and mythical presentations, personal histories, and picture essays. In addition to the slides, Sam employs a variety of media to explore the deeper issues he calls "the quandaries".  Sam is native to Brooklyn where "the most prevalent things are streets and strays," he says. "Streets are stages, and strays are guardians..."  His work is an attempt to make sense of places and times where there is none, and bring nonsense to where there is too much.
