Jungle Fruits I-VI, 1988
Joan Stuart Ross
(American, born 1942)
Location: Kingston Middle School, Kingston
ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Artist Joan Stuart Ross created the screen print Jungle Fruits I-VI using nine layers of color. She developed each color and design on its own screen, which she then printed in sequence. She notes, "Ideas for Jungle Fruits I-VI developed from ideas of organic shapes in a tropical, light-filled environment. Water and its elements of flow and current are important also."
This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with North Kitsap School District.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Seattle-based artist Joan Stuart Ross creates two-dimensional artworks that combine encaustic (made using melted wax), painting, printmaking, and collage techniques. Experimenting with process and repetition, Ross creates layered visual narratives that explore natural forms and personal symbols.
Ross earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Connecticut College, and Master of Arts and Master of Fine Arts degrees from the University of Iowa.
