Amanda Ross-Ho

Robin reminded me of the artist Amanda Ross-Ho shortly after I read an article about her in Modern Painters magazine. It is bascially impossible for me to not like this work as it is very feminine yet tom-boyish and includes a bunch of my favorite ideas - oversized objects, beautiful lace/lattice work patterns, snowflake cut-outs, the mundane and the beautiful hand-in-hand, unpretentious materials and presentation and I even found a piece with a giant xerox of fruit baskets which is so strange because I just wrote that down in my notebook yesterday as something I would like to try to make casts out of, or make some drawings of...weird.

Here are a bunch of links if you would like to investigate further:

...Here at the 2008 Whitney Biennial...
...Here at the Cherry and Martin gallery...

...and here on the Art MoCo blog...

Hope you have a nice lazy Sunday. I wish it was as beautiful as yesterday...oh well - spring is always so up and down...!
