Kelsey E. Ross Application for University of Minnesota Masters of Landscape Architecture I
As an undergrad, I co-managed Carleton’s student organic farm. I expanded the farm to over an acre and a half, and designed a functional space with an outdoor shower, kitchen, and food prep area. The farm served as a community gathering place, a classroom for local summer camps, and studio for artists. Produce was sold at local farmers markets and to campus dining services, and surplus donated to the local food shelf.

In drawing the human form, I am interested in exploring a sense of weight and movement. Drawing from life and short form models has taught me to quickly analyze and record and visual information.

Bones, glass and reflective objects appear frequently as subject matter in my still lifes. I am drawn to the challenge of visually documenting these forms, which are easily abstracted.

Snow landscape series medium format film
This series explores the geometry of Midwestern agrarian landscapes. The lack of contrast between snow and sky compresses vistas into simplified, graphical components.
