Received grant in 2020

I’m an Artist. My birth name is Aaron, and I also go by A`RNO. In 2020, I’m interested in erotic entanglements between human body and living world, which I express through photography and invented language. I publish collaborative books; and help other artists make projects, too.

It’s a privilege to make Art on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm, sel̓íl̓witulh, and sḵwx̱wú7mesh peoples. As a settler here, it is my responsibility to join with others in undoing colonial racism, violence, and privilege. This Work is transforming how, and on what terms, I make Art. Blessings.
