Charles Ross

(b. 1937, USA) Lives and works between New York and Mexico

Using sunlight and starlight as the source for his art, Charles Ross creates large-scale prisms to project solar spectrum into architectural spaces; focuses sunlight into powerful beams to create solar burn works; draws the quantum behavior of light with dynamite; and works with a variety of other media including photography and video.

For the last 51 years Ross has been building the geometry of the stars into his earthwork, Star Axis, now nearing completion in New Mexico.
