"Aschheim's interests do not fall under the categories of image, object, or design. She is after something more elusive and less stable—implied motion, states in the midst of change, and a fictive reality that exists between multiple visual constructions. She reconfigures the various forces—both visible and invisible—that constantly impact and structure daily life, from the trajectory of thinking and the stillness of air to the effect of gravity, and the way the chaotic, but logical, geometry of the city precariously frames our experience of space. Fragmentation and recombinatory possibilities are marked and can be seen as reality coming into being, the fragility of specific kinds of ephemeral reality, or reality as a constant process of emergence and destruction." (Quoted from the Guggenheim Fellowship award biography of Aschheim from 2012.)
