SELECTED QUOTES
!THE WORK OF JAYNE AMARA ROSS FASCINATES AND FILLS ONE WITH WONDER. HER FILMS ARE AMAZINGLY MASTERFUL, BRINGING TO LIGHT AN INTIMATE MYTHOLOGY THAT IS RAW, BREATHLESS, STRIKING. HERE THE MOST AMBITIOUS POETIC CHALLENGES ARE MET AND FROM THIS EMERGES SOMETHING RARE AND PRECIOUS, QUITE INVALUABLE THESE DAYS : A FEMALE ANSWER TO FUNDAMENTAL HUMAN QUESTIONS.
GABRIELA TRUJILLO (CULTUROPOING, JUNE 2011) VISUAL SYMPHONIES PLAY SOUNDTRACK TO THE POETIC VOICE-OVER, EXPANDING INTO A SERIES OF IMAGES OF RARE FILMIC BEAUTY (…). WE ARE SHAKEN BY THE TRUTH THAT RESIDES IN THIS INNOVATIVE EXPRESSION OF THE FEMALE EXPERIENCE. RAPHAËL BASSAN (REVUE BREF, JANUARY 2013) ROSS' WORDS COME ACROSS AS BOTH CHALLENGE AND REQUIEM, AN IMPOSSIBLE TIGHTROPE THAT SHE SOMEHOW MANAGES TO CROSS, IN THE MANNER OF PREDECESSOR POETS SUCH AS SYLVIA PLATH AND BRIGIT PEGEEN KELLY. WHEN HEARING HER INTONATIONS FOR THE FIRST TIME, BACKED BY THE CACOPHONOUS HOLLOWS OF THE BAND, ONE FORGETS TO BREATHE; AFTER THE EXHALATION, ONE GASPS, “WHAT DID I JUST HEAR?” IN LIKE FASHION, THOSE VIEWING THE FILM ARE LIKELY TO WHISPER, “WHAT DID I JUST SEE?”, FOLLOWED BY THE HEARTBREAKING ADMITTANCE, “IT WILL HURT ME, BUT I HAVE TO HEAR IT AGAIN” RICHARD ALLEN (THE SILENT BALLET – REVIEW OF FAREWELL POETRY’S FIRST RELEASE, OCTOBER 2011) JAYNE AMARA ROSS CONSTRUCTS POEMS OF MEANING, IMAGE, TYPE-FILM SEMIOLOGY. A 'BALE OF BLACK TURTLES', OVER DADA, THE GRINCH SMIRKS, HER DARK MARAUDER IS LADY DEATH. CINDY LOU WHO, PLATH AND ROSEMARIE WALDROP. A CONTEMPORARY MODERNIST HOBBYHOSE MEETS CHRISTIAN METZ. AS HUGO BALL FLIPS IT OPEN, AS THE DEVIL'S DICTIONARY TRANSLATES, OPEN AND AS IMAGE, MOVING. DETROIT SAYS THANKS FOR COMING!
