Early in her career, Ross-Ho shared a studio with a revolving cast of 10 to 15 other young artists — including Sterling Ruby and Kirsten Stoltmann — in the Hazard Park neighborhood.[4][5] She later moved her studio into a former retail distribution warehouse just south of downtown that she shares with her artist partner, Erik Frydenborg.[6]

Work

Ross-Ho works in painting, drawing, sculpture, installation, photography[7] and uses found objects.[8] She takes images from a wide variety of cultural locations, placing disparate references alongside each other in work for walls and floors, and as freestanding objects.[9] Her exhibitions locate sites of artistic action and personal significance, proposing relationships between a range of disparate objects and experiences.

Though Ross-Ho often couches her practice in relation to painting, her work encompasses not just painting, but also photography, drawing, sculpture and installation.

She builds formal syntax comprised of objects, images, and performative gestures mined from personal and collective phenomena, which aim to inscribe meaning through poetic systems of circuitry and taxonomy. Utilizing conflicting sensibilities of the forensic, hyperbolic, and theatrical, her work aims to function as a sensitive instrument: tuned to carefully observe, record, transcribe and translate the landscapes of our made and lived in surroundings.

For the California Biennial, she transported the actual walls of her then-East L.A. studio into the galleries of the Orange County Museum of Art; she re-created the installation at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago in [6] She later produced a series of individual works on poster-sized pieces of sheetrock — similar in appearance — that she conceived as "fictionalized" versions of the real studio walls.[6]

Ross-Ho's first outdoor public art project, The Character and Shape of Illuminated Things – at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, explores how photography is similar to the act of seeing.[10]
