Elliot Ross

Elliot Ross's photographic practice is deeply connected to the American West, a region that serves as a text for exploring how landscapes - both natural and constructed - influence communities and cultures. He sees his bodies of work as long-standing investigations into the impact of geopolitical borders on identity, the urban-rural divide, and human relationships with natural resources. Projects stretch over years and are built on deep, collaborative relationships and underpinned by trust and openness.

Drawing from his own experiences as an individual of mixed Taiwanese-Anglo-American descent grappling with questions of belonging, Elliot sees photography as a means of exploring, and sometimes challenging, our relationship with the places we call home and their contested histories. His goal is to encourage connections that bridge gaps in understanding to facilitate a deeper sense of convergence during a time of heightened polarisation and ecological collapse.

We featured work from Elliot's project A Question of Balance in Issue 353 of Resurgence & Ecologist magazine.
