Four gradient images hang on the walls with a small square mirrored surface on the floor

In Conversation: Meg Ross and José Andrés Mora

Dates June 8.2022

Delving into the way text and language shape their artistic impulses in different ways, the conversation focused on the creative opportunities and critical issues that emerge from their investigations of chance, error, and disruption, activating the liminal spaces between digital and analogue through photography and interdisciplinary media practices. Ross’s exhibition, Nearest Neighbour, represents the culmination of two years of creative research by the Masters of Fine Art candidate and is presented at AGG in conjunction with the School of Fine Art and Music.
