Funny face I love you

Read Joan Ross’s artist statement again and consider the following questions:

  • Why do you think Joan Ross has given the work this title?

  • How has Ross explored the idea of 'placing human characteristics and behaviour onto animals'? Why do you think she has done this?

  • Do animals have the same expressions and feelings as people? Why do we like to think they might?

  • What does Ross want the audience to think about?

  • What mood do you think the video artwork creates? How does the artist create this mood?

  • How is Ross’s work like a collage?
