Aisha Harrison uses the body as a site to explore the lived experiences of racism, ancestral (human and non-human) connection, and the complicated blend of histories held within her body. Her work shows reverence for real bodies while also incorporating elements that are physical manifestations of the intangible. The humans she makes are often interconnected with elements of the natural world, many of whom are native to the Pacific Northwest where her family has lived for four generations.
Harrison is a studio and public artist working primarily in clay and bronze. She received a BFA from Washington State University, and an MFA from University of Nebraska- Lincoln. Her work has been shown nationally at The Whatcom Museum, The Bascom Center for the Visual Arts, Crocker Art Museum, Northern Clay Center, Wa Na Wari, Bainbridge Museum of Art, Jordan Schnitzer Museum at WSU, and at the Leonor R. Fuller Gallery at South Sound Community College.
Harrison is currently preparing for a solo exhibition at the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art, opening in the late summer of 2025.
