Visiting artist at Sacramento State University, Scott Ross speaks about his Current work, regarding it as the bad in the world that most people want to avoid. He speaks about how the abstract world that he works in, is made of the social topics that the masses want to avoid for the sake of making their day to day life more pleasant and feeling like it's all good or that there is nothing wrong. He then later compares his work to brutalist architecture, which you either hate or love. The short conversation that he had with our class was very interesting as it seemed obvious that the statement about making things that didn't want to be acknowledged by the rest of the world, seemed a little off putting to some of us. I personally found it very interesting because it gives me an understanding of what kind of surrounding this particular artist has had and what he sees.
