I always wanted to create my artwork often centred and featured my own body as a site of visceral exploration, influenced by artists like Carolee Schneemann, Ana Mendieta, Helen Chadwick and Francesca Woodman who all used their physicality, their naked body and their sexuality as vehicles to create. You’ve come from a creative background, utilising analogue photography and graduating from art school how exactly did you get into performing? Hi GATA, I’m Vex, I’m a visual artist, director, performer and independent porn creator with my DIY porn project called Four Chambers. First of all, could you please introduce yourself to the GATA Family? Hello Vex, thank you so much for your time. GATA took the time to talk to this ambitious creative force, in an attempt to understand the roots of this project, and the various visual references and energies that are expressed in her work. With a background in analogue photography, digital sex and art school, this coalescence of stimulating fields has resulted in Vex Ashley creating a truly unique viewing experience that encapsulates many positive points of the avant-garde and DIY culture. No longer are the films solely produced by a single demographic, but through her Four Chambers project, a new perspective has been unleashed, pushing the boundaries of what porn is really capable of showing and articulating. Vex Ashley’s aims are bold and ambitious, attempting to reclaim significance for pornography and decentralise the entire process, taking back power from the traditional practices of the pornographic industry as a whole.
VEX MOVIES THE CRAFT SERIES
With her Four Chambers project, she has created a series of independent, conceptual and creative films that touch on a deep reservoir of cultivated culture, from psychoanalytic concepts to the experimental visual art of Carolee Schneemann. However, for independent porn producer and performer Vex Ashley, pornography is a beautiful and highly creative source of inspiration for her work. The line between art and pornography has long been a contentious issue within the creative community - with pornography at times be overlooked, swept under the proverbial carpet, in favour of more cultured artistic pursuits.
