Roxanne Ross explores portraiture, domestic space, and intergenerational family narratives, through lens-based mediums. She works in close collaboration with those photographed, often returning to the same people and spaces over extended periods of time. These repeated encounters allow relationships to deepen, and images emerge through a process of dialogue and exchange. Working with both analogue and digital processes, Ross approaches image-making as both a method of inquiry and a way of engaging relationally. She attends to gesture, atmosphere, and the subtle shifts that unfold within familial environments. Rather than producing fixed representations, the work remains open, shaped by the evolving dynamics of the relationships it represents. At the core of her practice is an ongoing engagement with family: its complexities, intimacies, and continuities across generations, as well as adaptation over time. With this work, Ross considers how images function as both historical record and family archive, while prioritising connection, duration, and the lived realities that unfold within the home.
