    "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.
