PHOENIX -- On display in the Bokeh Gallery at the monOrchid from December 6 – 28, 2013, Roth’s current artwork incorporates digital collage, utilizing photographic and graphic images (some he creates, some he borrows) to develop fully ingrained images into heat transfer papers, much like iron-on materials.

“Between Heaven and Earth” is primarily based on a surreal, dreamlike idea of figures trapped somewhere between, what he describes as, “a limbo or purgatory.” The unsettling images use the suspension of movement to convey a moment in which the past and future remains a mystery. Aaron wants the viewer to be a participant in the story that his imagery tells, it is up to them to make judgment on the life and fate of the individuals portrayed. This aspect of the work also provides an entrance into an arena of introspection for the viewer to pause and contemplate their own actions, and the resulting future.

Bokeh Gallery is located within the monOrchid in the heart of the downtown Phoenix arts district at 214 E Roosevelt St. The gallery entrance is via the alley to the east of the building, or you can walk through the Roosevelt entrance, grab a cup of coffee and explore the Shade Gallery as well on your way through. Originally a Del Webb warehouse constructed in 1937, thirteen years of renovation and invention have morphed the 14,000 square foot building into a unique space for creativity, celebration, and culture.
