"Start with the Flesh" introduces new video and glass sculptures that excavate this thematic terrain, unearthing concepts such as fragility, visibility, violence, submission, preservation, insulation, and resistance. The works are defined by a dichotic tension - teasing content from the elusive space between corporeal transience and creative transcendence. Central to the show is a seamlessly looped video that weaves text, sound, and image fragments into a digital tapestry of socio-poetic introspection.
"Start with the flesh, reckons with the pounds. The mass. Recall that specificity. This requires naming gravity - the impacts of gravity on your heavy body. In this moment, know no ease. Settle into density."

In the Sunroom of Wave Hill, Ross’s multisensory environment comprises elements out of reclaimed materials in dialogue with the architecture of the space, markedly, the arched windows, along with video and audio.
When the water comes to light out of the well of my self, is part of their ongoing inquiry into the mechanical and conceptual intersections of objects and the containers that give them meaning. Ross is specifically experimenting with how objects ranging from fluid to wavelengths to textiles to bodyforms come into contact with their containers—namely, time, space, and scale—in order to understand where these points of contact might be (re)shaped.
Using a variety of digital and material handcrafting techniques, Ross hones in on these points of contact as deeply expansive sites where we might refigure basic networks of interaction in ways that might prompt other, perhaps more radical, ways of seeing, engaging, and feeling.

Daisy chain. A flower garland, a wiring sequence, a sex configuration, a climbing failsafe, a synthesizer series, a web of lovers, the links between us, visible and celebrated, hidden and unknown, forgotten. Together, an interdependence. A unit. A functional operation. Daisy Chain, a solo exhibition featuring new work by undisciplined artist Amina Ross, claiming love as recovered ancestral practice and future technology. Intimacy as life hack.
