Keijsers Koning will present Ashley Zelinskie's first solo exhibition with the gallery, "Unspoken;Women in Science," a celebration and awareness of women’s contribution to a field which is prone to gender bias. The exhibition features watercolors, sculptures, and virtual animations each inspired by women through the field of science.

Zelinskie highlights voices that have helped leap the field of science into new horizons and celebrate these unrecognized voices. The series of watercolors on paper are laser-cut with notes by Rosalind Franklin and her studies of DNA structure in particular photo 51. Her studies finally killed her as the radiation exposure resulted in ovarian cancer, her research was absconded and Francis Crick, James Watson and Maurice Wilkins shared the Nobel Prize in 1962.

The center of the gallery features a life-sized Vitruvian figure subverting da Vinci’s ideal male form, this sculpture is an accumulation of various women Zelinskie has worked with; scientists, artists, performers and entrepreneurs. In using the genetic code of the X chromosomes as a lattice, she has created a literal and figurative everywoman. Surrounding the figure are four self-portraits executed through technology and become a direct marriage of the artist and her tools, one supporting the other to create a new form.

Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on view through December 21.
