Controlled chaos
Sharp angles
Ripped colors
Shapes alternating
Sharp and subdued
Tragedy
And rage
Pulled onto page
Within a
Continuous line,
Mat
And frame

About the print show at Pierce Law by Aaron Brown of November 2003. He said the prints were about the events of 9/11/01, especially the twisted metal of the bombed buildings. They came months after the attack when he finally returned to print work after a lengthy hiatus when he wrote instead. His wife shared that they all came out in a burst of activity over a single week. Aaron would only get a few hours of sleep each night and was almost working round the clock in the studio. His activities were so frenetic and continuous that he left the paints out, and would merely spray them so they remained wet and fresh.
