Aaron GLASSON

Aaron Glasson looks for beauty in every place he visits. It’s a lens that has put the artist in good stead throughout his globe-trotting career, starting from his native New Zealand to Japan, Sri Lanka, and around the US. His frequent trips abroad, combined with his upbringing in the open fields of Karaka in New Zealand’s north, have informed the themes of interconnection, community and ecology that pervade his multidisciplinary work. Currently based in Landers in the Mojave Desert, we spoke to Aaron about painting murals in Estonia, close encounters in the desert, and where to experience the surprising creativity of the region in his Mojave Desert Travel Playbook.
