In and around 2004, Aaron was doing both narrative and experimental videos. He also created a body of paintings which featured pseudo-realistic distortions, pairing various objects that he found close at hand. He currently lives and works in Chicago, IL and is working on new video projects and drawings of popular fiction authors.

  5. Hey Jon. Thanks again for putting this stuff on your blog. The Untitled work emerged from a group of paintings of objects I was doing. They were sort of like still lifes; there was an implied narrative element, but they were a little opaque and indecipherable. The video you posted was my attempt to break into sculpture...video allowed me to put everyday things into little storylines.
