Author: Ross-Ho, Amanda
'Grand Gestures' is a visual overview of a decade of Amanda Ross-Ho’s career. Presented chronologically, it documents the artist’s techniques of scaling and replication, and the use of found objects, illustrating how she uses these methods to transform everyday items into works that explore themes such as loss, time, and preservation. Featuring an essay by critic Catherine Taft and a conversation between the artist and book editor Roos Gortzak that offers additional insight into her work. Ross-Ho’s interest in manipulating perceptions of time and space, often through theatrical installations, reveals the relationship between art, labour, and systems of production. By acknowledging the incompleteness of archives, including in her own, Ross-Ho integrates the inevitability of absence into her work, raising questions about how we document and preserve history.
ISBN 9781941753897. Inventory Press. hb. 580 pages. 450 colour ills. 24.2 x 19.1 cm.
