Joan Ross is a Sydney based artist who unrelentingly examines the collective Australian identity and the legacies of colonialism through a number of disciplines.

During her residency, Ross held an artist’s floor talk about her Hi-Vis installation I DON’T THINK I CAN SEE YOU ANYMORE in the John Paynter Gallery, and concurrently exhibited an animation When I grow up I want to be a forger commissioned by the Newcastle Region Art Gallery for the exhibition Curious Colony; A twenty first century Wunderkammer.
