  This paper presents a complete set of quasilocal densities which describe the
stress-energy-momentum content of the gravitational field and which are built
with Ashtekar variables. The densities are defined on a two-surface $B$ which
bounds a generic spacelike hypersurface $\Sigma$ of spacetime. The method used
to derive the set of quasilocal densities is a Hamilton-Jacobi analysis of a
suitable covariant action principle for the Ashtekar variables. As such, the
theory presented here is an Ashtekar-variable reformulation of the metric
theory of quasilocal stress-energy-momentum originally due to Brown and York.
This work also investigates how the quasilocal densities behave under
generalized boosts, i. e. switches of the $\Sigma$ slice spanning $B$. It is
shown that under such boosts the densities behave in a manner which is similar
to the simple boost law for energy-momentum four-vectors in special relativity.
The developed formalism is used to obtain a collection of two-surface or boost
invariants. With these invariants, one may ``build" several different mass
definitions in general relativity, such as the Hawking expression. Also
discussed in detail in this paper is the canonical action principle as applied
to bounded spacetime regions with ``sharp corners."
