TEACHING ARTIST

Originally from Kansas, Ross-Gotta relocated to Iowa City from Seattle in 2020 after earning an MFA in sculpture from the University of Washington. In her practice, Ross-Gotta uses text, textiles and performance as ways to explore vulnerability and the human condition. In 2022, she cofounded PALI, The Performance Art Lab of Iowa, a free monthly performance art workshop group. Most recently, she curated Failed, an exhibition of failed projects that was on display at The Vestibule gallery in Seattle in October 2023, which included her failed performance, Talkin’ To the Wind.
