Ash Alldread is a multidisciplinary artist drawing from the complexity of his lived-experiences with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). He works across sculpture, photography, drawing, poetry and philosophical writings to explore the entanglements of his corporeality with existence through a philosophical lens and artistic curiosity. Ash has recently restarted his artist practice in 2025 from a health break. Ash's practice-led research draws from the medical, mortality, time and lived-existence. ​​​​​His work primarily plays with liquid latex, exploring the entangled fragility of the material with his lived-experience. Currently exploring experimental drawing within these themes and other photographic displays through light.
