    This joyous painting says ‘ME TIME’ in loud yet softly rounded capital letters. The work is an example of the artist’s ‘Shout Out’ poster paintings which are snippets of her conversations and those overheard in the studio and everyday life. Ross‘s words are matched with colours which she meticulously journals throughout the year. Although Ross’s use of language is personal to her experience, her words resonate loudly with all who encounter them. Me Time passionately proclaims the importance of making time for self-care. Poetic and sometimes brutal Ross’s compositions and prose echo techniques seen within concrete poetry.
