Tin Eaters #1

Aaron Williamson

Williamson places an artful composition of numerical and linguistic symbols and fragmented imagery, of different textures and shapes, colliding and complimenting each other, in a black square frame against a tan backdrop. The number 40, a road sign of a car on a dock, a bright red pattern with a star, a brick wall.
