Amanda Ross-Ho "Somebody Stop Me"
Mitchell-Innes & Nash (534 W 26th St.)
This event has ended.
Ross-Ho's work brings together seemingly oppositional languages and spaces: personal imagery and autobiographical artifacts are mined for formal qualities; traces and residues from studio practices are meticulously re-created as deliberate gestures; boundaries between private work and public display are collapsed. She revisits images and forms in multiple iterations, creating scale shifts, moving among different media, or using positive and negative structures.
SOMEBODY STOP ME uses sculpture, photographs, paintings, and engagement with the gallery's architecture to define terms of a constantly evolving personal language. A variety of techniques – ranging from large-scale printed graphics, to hand made textiles, to commercial fabrication – diagram relationships between economies of production and presentation.
