Bio
Aster Reem David (b. 1988, Pakistan) is a visual artist working with photography, printmaking, installation and mixed media. The themes of ecology, geology and exploration of Nature, human and more-than-human worlds are central to her process-driven practice. Aster's work is multi-layered informed by experiments encompassing found imagery, mixed recycled materials and other environmentally conscious processes combining analogue and digital methods. She is committed to using her practice as a platform to reflect, engage and highlight the ecological crises. Aster is currently based in West Ireland studying a masters programme in Art & Ecology.
