I chose to look into Fiona Ross for this post because of my recent interest in the use of circles. For my current in class project, I am incorporating repeating circular cut outs, something I've never included or even thought to include in my work before. So far I have thoroughly enjoyed playing around with the use of this shape , and was shown a few of Fiona Ross's pieces for inspiration. I fell in love with many aspects of her work and wanted to know more about this artist and her work, and how that can all relate to me and my own work. website: https://fionarossart.com/home.html a few exhibitions:

This ppersonal reactions to pieces: Fractal Eclipse #32: This was one of Fiona Ross' pieces that I was originally drawn to. The current piece I am working on reflects the repetition of circle within this piece. I love how this piece at first glance seems in a way simple visually, but is actually extremely intricate and detailed. I really like her use of negative space and overlap within this piece, two things I would like to experiment with in the future. Dislocation of a More Complete Pattern #61: When I see this piece I immediately and drawn to the delicacy. The level of craft is extremely high, with such intricate lines and use of color. Color is one of the main aspects of many of my pieces, but I have never thought to really overlap color or focus on how I can manipulate it, which I am now inspired to do. Complement of Closure #5: This piece is very compelling to me. I love the detail within the piece and how these details create depth. My favorite aspect of this piece is by far is the intersection of the faint lines and the bolder lines on the far right and left of this piece. This is honestly something I would have intentionally avoided in my own work, but is my favorite part of this piece....really makes me think I need to be taking more risks and exploring more opportunities. Float #2: I think this is probably my favorite piece of Fiona Ross' I have seen. One of the original reasons I was drawn to it was because it reminds me a lot of my uncle's art, but that's kind of irrelevant. I really like the use of earthy tones when creating a more free flowing, natural piece. The layering creates interest in the piece, encoding curiosity in the piece, it's like I just want to look closer and closer. short article: https://www.vmfa.museum/connect/fellowship-dollars-bought-painter-fiona-ross-more-than-just-materials/ This is just a short article the VMFA did on how Fiona Ross spent her fellowship money. I decide to include this to just show an example of how an artists kickstarted her career. I found it interesting that Ross used some of her money for travel, which just emphasized the importance of the inspiration behind art, something I look for more and more everyday.
