Amy Ross is a Boston based artist who wanted to know what would happen if a mushroom and woodpecker swapped DNA. Funny, I've also wondered the same thing and it turns out in Amy's world the result is a pretty little drawing. She considers herself a bit of a "mad scientist" creating hybrid creatures in graphite, ink and watercolour on paper which subvert traditional botanical illustrations. They're cute at first, but have a serious undercurrent about manipulating the natural world. Soft on the outside. Hard in the inside.
Amy is showing at a group exhibition until May 10th at Swarm Gallery in Oakland California... just in case anyone is in the area.
