A close-up view of Ross's new installation "Pine" in Matt's Gallery with the Contemporary Arts Society. Ross's new work includes large photographs of single white words erected in landscapes and sculptures which masquerade as lamps. He took over the entire gallery for the summer and has filled the gallery space with minimal but emotionally moving visuals which play on scale, nostalgia and relationship between object and image.
I absolutely love large works of art. Just stand in front of them and see what happens... It's an instinctive response rather than an intellectual one. Ross remained very mysterious & clever about not giving anything away about his work. Is this intentional? As an artist is it important to stand your ground and not give away your secrets? To me the installation was about the great voyage of life and maybe nostalgia for a lost innocence. Or Fraulien Maria and the Von Trapp family??? Guess we will never know. But it was definitely worth slepping through East London in my heels on a rainy Tuesday night.
