It contemplates poetry, language, space, and the body. She weaves between different series using various methods that intersect as well as diverge, but all of her works share a formal elegance and refinement. Beauty is a word that’s so overused, I try to employ it rarely, focus- ing instead on the larger ideas in art. But Ross’s concepts are so embedded in the formal relationships that make up her work, I can’t separate out the beauty. The tensions between opposing qualities and materials, the push-pull between gestures, the works’ thoughtful relationships with their sources and the bold geometric redaction of those sources—this beauty isn’t simple. This beauty exists because of imperfections: the revisitations of works that failed, the constant responsiveness Ross has to her own work. Too much, too exact, too raw, too light, too pink—these excesses are all part of Ross’s work, and how she brings them into balance creates the refinement within that work.

In the dark bath of the womb infants process sound, distinguishing the low thrum of one voice from another. When they are brought into the world, they soon begin to group vowel sounds, then hues give way to voids in the paper, creating a push-pull effect between consonants, then syllables. Even learning sign language, babies “babble” foreground and background and what is revealed or concealed. The with their hands, mimicking and building. By nature, humans orient torn page edges allude to the work’s provenance and indicate the hand themselves toward language the way a plant grows in the direction of of the artist. the light. Currently Boas is working on a series of intensely colorful paintings Over the span of her lengthy career, Pat Boas’ explorations of language constructed from monograms of notable women, who she describes have resulted in countless works that play freely with its forms.
