Carol Ross

(1945- )

“The pristine quality of the forms, bouncing back light toward the viewer suggests, after the first, startled glance, a spiritual significance. One hesitates to read too much symbolism into such powerfully reductive forms, but it appears as though Ross has created work that alternates between elemental being and historical allusion.”

—Jonathan Goodman, Sculpture Magazine, January 2001

“One sees in Ms. Ross' art a fascination with the totemic and an aspiration toward an implacable, sphinx-like intrigue. Her sculptures have the compacted density of a summation, although what is being summarized is unknown, or, should one say, unknowable.”

—Mario Naves, The New York Observer, May 1. 2000
