Biography
I'm Ashley Sengstaken! I'm a multimedia animator and artist based in Los Angeles. My work blends analog and digital techniques to explore the relationship between the girly and the grotesque. My graphic design and animation has been featured in The People's Joker, FX's ATLANTA, The Eric Andre Show, The Victoria's Secret Tour, Vans advertisements, Hellavision, and more! I developed a Pepper's Ghost animation and diorama technique at IKEA Artist Residency last year - a practice that I continued on a larger scale in Ember Knight's Dark Ride this summer. I have lectured on experimental animation and puppetry at New York Film Academy and the Ojai Playwrights Conference. My short film Girls Night Out will premiere at Fantastic Fest this fall.--Sengstaken
