Holding Space Series: Aaron Jones Instagram Takeover

Visit LOMAA’s Instagram page from Monday, October 19 to Saturday, October 24, 2020 for an Instagram Takeover by Aaron Jones.

Aaron Jones is a multi-disciplinary visual artist based in Toronto. His practice surrounds ideas of self-reflection and character-building as a way of finding peace. Often using found images, videos and lens-based media, he works with different forms of collage to build characters and spaces that reflect upon the complexities and nuances of his own upbringing. Recent exhibitions include Propped at Oakville Galleries (2017), Under Mine presented by the BAU Collective at 187 Gallery (2017), Ragga NYC at Mercer Union (2018), Bending Towards the Sun at YYZ Outlet (2019) and From the Ground Up at NIA Centre for the Arts (2019). Upcoming exhibitions include Three-Thirty at Doris McCarthy Gallery for the 2020 CONTACT Photography Festival and a solo exhibition at UGLY Gallery in Chicago, Illinois. He graduated with a B. from OCADU in 2018 and is an active member of the BAU Collective. His work is included in the collections of Ryerson Image Centre and Wedge Curatorial Projects.
