Ayshia encompasses the concept of Meta-Archaeology based on her diverse background. Her practice spans a multitude of techniques like building performative sculptures, latex modelling, expressive abstract and figurative mixed-media painting, digital art, moving image, VR world-building, printmaking, installation, web-based and Livestream/VR/Crypto-performance art and Blockchain NFT culture. Within her pieces Ayshia uses techniques like ‘aesthetic corruption’, glitch, 2D, 3D modelling software, generative, greenscreen, AI and data-bending which interplay with both sides of technology through mixing digital with analogue to create the artefacts of the future through archaeological extension.
