Amanda Ross-Ho

Correction #50 (CCCC)

A large-scale canvas densely layered with various shades of red acrylic paint and gesso, building a richly textured surface that hovers between gestural abstraction and methodical process. Ross-Ho's repeated application of corrective strokes and marks renders the work as both painting and record, with the titular "correction" suggesting an ongoing negotiation between intention and revision. The monochromatic palette amplifies the materiality of the paint itself, drawing attention to the physical accumulation of marks as a form of language.
