\n Artist Talk:
\r\nAaron Jones <\/h2>\n \n <\/div>\n \n
\n
\n

Join us for a special afternoon celebrating the installation of a new work by Toronto-based artist Aaron Jones. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Drawing on found imagery, video, and lens-based media, Jones creates layered collages that construct characters and imagined spaces shaped by memory, identity, and lived experience. His practice reflects on the nuances of his upbringing and present-day life, using image-making as a means of reflection and finding peace.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Jones will be in conversation with McMichael curator John Geoghegan, sharing insight into his creative process, artistic influences, and the ideas informing this new commission. <\/p>\n

Presented in partnership with CONTACT Photography Festival<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n
