Ashley's childhood memories of growing up in the 90s and early 2000s are ones of hot summers, using the landline telephone to call friends, knowing it was time to get home when the street lights turned on and only needing 10 cents to take to the local newsagent to buy a lolly. Bubble O Bills were Ashley's favourite treat at this time. She wanted to create an artwork that reflected this period that was such a memorable time for herself and others.
