About this Event
Participants will use watercolors to create flows of 'water' on paper and then use soil to paint around their water flows and create landscapes inspired by Elliot Ross's images on view in Pictura Gallery.
Ideal for ages 6+ | Ages 4 - 5 must be accompanied by an adult
Artist Bio
My photographic practice is deeply connected to the American West—a region that serves as a text for exploring how landscapes—both natural and constructed—influence communities and cultures. I see my bodies of work as long standing investigations into the impact of geopolitical borders on identity, the urban-rural divide, and human relationships with natural resources. Projects stretch over years and are built on deep, collaborative relationships and underpinned by trust and openness. Drawing from my own experiences as an individual of mixed Taiwanese-Anglo-American descent grappling with questions of belonging, I see photography as a means of exploring, and sometimes challenging, our relationship with the places we call home and their contested histories. My goal is to encourage connections that bridge gaps in understanding to facilitate a deeper sense of convergence during a time of heightened polarization and ecological collapse.
