Statement:
Aaron's work exists between play and danger, self-sabotage and self-help, maturity and senescence. There is an examination of wants and needs, cycles, and self-reflexivity in the context of expanded adolescence; drive, desire, violence & victory, struggle, failure, and persistence. To examine one's self is to learn, change, and grow; Aaron's work is an interpretation of self, but also of the values and climates of the realities in which he works and lives.
