Interview:Aaron
Rintoul
"Anything I've learned worth using has been through experimentation."
[Aaron Rintoul]
CHOLER: What area are you from?
Rintoul:: Winnepeg, Canada.
CHOLER: How old are you?
Rintoul: Twenty-one.
CHOLER: What are your influences?
Rintoul: My influences are a compilation
of obsessional thoughts, childhood fears, feelings of disassociation
and my experiences growing up in an abusive home.
CHOLER: What artists do you most
admire?
Rintoul: David Lynch, Floria Sigismondi,
and Alexander McQueen.
CHOLER: What would you like viewers
to get from your work?
Rintoul: My work is very internal
and fractured. It's open to individual interpretation.
CHOLER: Has your work been featured
elsewhere?
Rintoul: My work has been shown at
the Plug-in Gallery here in Winnipeg, as well as with interviews in Uptown
and Connect magazine and a couple of feature artist websites.
CHOLER: What is mediums do you work
in? What is your favorite medium to work in? Your least? Why?
Rintoul: I use mainly photography
and film in my recent work; I find it lets me use a wide variety of artistic
disciplines.
CHOLER: Which piece is your favorite?
(out of your work)?
Rintoul: I don't really have a favorite
piece, I suppose whatever I happen to be involved in at the time...
CHOLER: What is your favorite work
of art in general?
Rintoul: I try not to limit myself
to "favorites." I'm interested in originality and fast forward progression.
CHOLER: When growing up was there anyone
to help and drive you towards art?
Rintoul: No, my art has always been
a deconstruction of myself.
CHOLER: Your work has both a two-dimensional
quality to it and also three-dimensional b/c of the intricacies of the
work featured in the photographs. Do you see yourself going in to a 3D
medium like metal working or sculpting and using those as mediums in it
of
themselves?
Rintoul: I become dissatisfied with one
specific medium-- I construct environments in which each object and artistic
medium's relationship are equally important in replicating my ideas as
vivid as possible.
CHOLER: Where do you see your art
going in the future?
Rintoul: My work is constantly evolving
and reconstructing.
