Roger Wayne Asay was born in 1941 in Denver, Colorado. He was raised in Bethesda, Maryland, where he spent much of his time immersed in nature and fascinated by art sculpture. He earned his BA at Earlham College in Richmond, Indiana before studying painting at UC Berkeley, graduating with his masters in 1967. After focusing on painting for five years he was exposed to Constructivism, which reawakened his interest in sculpture and led him to work as an artist in residence at studios in New Mexico, Colorado, and Arizona from the mid 1970s through the early 1980s. His preferred medium was rawhide, which he frequently fashioned into pole-like structures. In 1983 he met the anthropologist and artist Rebecca Davis, discovering she had also been born in Denver in 1950. They bonded over their mutual interest in minimalist, raw, natural material sculpture, which she had first begun experimenting with after earning her bachelors from the University of New Mexico in 1974. Her work focused on wood, interlaying pieces in chaotic patterns to suggest structures, faces, and other subjects. From 1984 onward they have worked together from a shared workspace in Prescott, Arizona called Asay Davis Studios. They have exhibited at numerous local galleries over the last forty years with many of their pieces in public and private collections, including permanent exhibitions at the Natural History Institute of Arizona and throughout the Southwest with the U.S. Parks Service. In addition to their critically acclaimed wood constructions, often using turned wood with metal appendages or attachments, they have a wide portfolio of public and land art pieces, some of which are modeled after prehistoric temples and monuments that form geometric patterns when seen from the sky.
