Hi, I'm Aaron!

I'm an architectural designer and artist based in Toronto with a background from the Glasgow School of Art. My work combines architectural thinking with experimentation through glitch, where I use digital distortion to explore how memory is layered, and constantly shifting. Out perspectives are precarious, and by manipulating photographs, my images become unreliable narrations of the perceived truth. I treat glitches as metaphors for the instability of memory and to remove the “artists view” allowing for personal interpretation. These abstractions invite reflection and reveal the beauty in distortion and reinterpretation.

About Me

Welcome to Glitch Studio

I’m Aaron, the artist behind Glitch Studio. My work explores distortion, memory, perspective, individual interpretation, and image as unreliable narration. My glitch process turns fragments and imperfections into vivid, unexpected art.

My Story

I began my artistic journey in earnest in 2015 while at the Glasgow School of Art in Scotland, where was studying for my Masters in Architecture. I first explored distortion as a way of removing the artist as narrator, giving up some autonomy to allow a natural digital process to emerge. This lead me to also start exploring memory’s shifting nature. Inspired by bold, graphic artists like Felipe Pantone and the surrealist landscapes of Georg Guðni, I developed a practice that transforms fragments and imperfections into vivid, living works. The process developed over time and is what I use to turn what is unstable into something beautiful.

What I Do

I work with glitch as both process and outcome, using distortion to break apart and reassemble images in unexpected ways. My work is process based in that I do not know what the final piece will look like when I start. I allow the process to guide me and inform the final outcome. My pieces strip away preconceived perceptions, revealing new forms that challenge how we see, and hopefully interact with, the world.
