Encounter a world inhabited by sun, stone, weather, and the intricate living tapestries of tiny organisms.

Reconsider the natural world around you through Ash Eliza Williams' paintings and sculptures through the eyes of its non-human inhabitants. An invitation to notice alternate ways to interact with nature (and one another), Language Without Words is an opportunity to contemplate perspectives beyond human experience. Explore the artist's work and the importance of paying attention to the voices and the inner lives of this planet's quietest and most wondrous creatures.

Ash Eliza Williams is an interdisciplinary artist whose work focuses on interspecies communication and empathy. Williams’ works have been exhibited both nationally and internationally, including exhibitions at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Denver, the National Center for Atmospheric Research (CO), and the New York Hall of Science. Based in Massachusetts, Williams often works with scientific organizations such as the Shoals Marine Laboratory in Maine and the McDonald Observatory in Texas. 

This marks their first solo exhibition with the Denver Botanic Gardens, and all the works shown will be available through K Contemporary.
