Statement:

Aaron Colussi works beyond the straight photograph, lay­ering his images in order to tap into the subterranean emotions of a place.  Looking at his work, the viewer can feel the circular arcs of ice skating, or be levitating on sun-warmed grass.  The chaos of the street in Crosswalks and Intersections is nearly auditory. 

Colussi’s double-exposed photographs are super-sensory.  This is perhaps most evident in Foundering of Memory.  Figures, trees, and all matter seem insubstantial, with the very feeling of sledding down a hill as the world sweeps past.
