Aaron Pexa is an American artist and architect whose work manifests curiosity and a sense of bewilderment through projection, optics, and appropriated antique objects. His multimedia works and video fracture and reframe everyday environments through the creation of artifacts, sleight of hand actions, and experimental operations. The video work, in particular, captures and manipulates a series of fleeting moments, framing a fantastical narrative while documenting the process by which artifacts are produced.While many glass artists focus on the finished product, the polished and perfect object, Pexa focuses on the process and the moment of creation. The incandescent quality of light and the reflective effect of glass are captured in the fleeting moments when glass transforms from liquid to solid. Ideas of beauty placed on objects of perceived cultural worth are abandoned as the object is intentionally destroyed, and in exchange, a new fantastical narrative is created. Also, use of mass production molds from the 19th century mixed with manual techniques produce one-of-a-kind glass objects that create a sense of a time gone by, an object that once was pristine but now fades with a fictional romantic history.
