In Conversation: Michelle Ross and Sarah SentillesElizabeth Leach Gallery is pleased to present a conversation between artist Michelle Ross and writer and critical theorist Sarah Sentilles as they discuss themes of Ross's practice and current exhibition "I Am Your Signal." Michelle Ross examines the boundaries between painting, photography and popular media, creating new relationships, both conceptual and aesthetic, that mirror the shifting realities of our time. Her formal and abstract paintings and digital collages have been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions nationally and internationally. In 2012, Ross was named as a Hallie Ford Fellow in the Visual Arts. Her recent commission, four massive site-specific paintings measuring 16 feet tall by 7 feet wide at The Standard Insurance Company (Portland, OR) in 2020, marks her largest-scale project to date. Sarah Sentilles is a writer, teacher, critical theorist, scholar of religion, and author of many books, including "Draw Your Weapons," which won the 2018 PEN Award for Creative Nonfiction. Her next book, "Stranger Care: A Memoir of Loving What Isn't Ours," will be published by Random House in May 2021. Her writing has appeared in The New York Times, The New Yorker, Oprah Magazine, Ms., Religion Dispatches, Oregon ArtsWatch, and the Los Angeles Review of Books, among other publications. She's had residencies at Hedgebrook and Yaddo. She earned a bachelor's degree at Yale and master's and doctoral degrees at Harvard. She is the co-founder of the Alliance of Idaho, which works to protect the basic human rights of immigrants by engaging in education, outreach, and advocacy at local, state, and national levels. She is represented by Molly Friedrich at The Friedrich Agency.
