David K. Ross is a visual artist whose photographic works and architecturally-based installation projects approach storage as a form of dynamic repose and image making as an accumulative process. His projects examine the ineffable, psychological, and practical implications of the overlooked and the underused spaces of transition and utility.

Ross has participated in many visual arts exhibitions in North America and Europe. Recently, his work has been featured in Voir/Noir at the Musée d’art de Joliette, Quebec and at the International Garden Festival at the Jardins de Métis with Pomme de parterre. He is currently working on series of photographs of art storage spaces called Dark Rooms.

In 2009, David K. Ross and Rebecca Duclos will be converting Render’s gallery space at the University of Waterloo into a temporary storage facility for students on work-terms in a project called Depot.

Ross holds a Masters of Architecture degree from the University of Toronto (2003). In 2002 he was a Research Fellow in the Museum Studies programme at the University of Manchester (UK) and is currently a Research Associate with Render at the University of Waterloo. His work has been featured in Canadian Architect (Fall 2004), Azure (Fall 2007), Locus Suspectus (July 2007) and in two recent Alphabet City/MIT Press publications ‘Trash’ (2006) and ‘Food’ (2007).
