Aaron McIntosh

McIntosh explores the abundance of “heteronormative ideals of love” that overwhelm contemporary visual culture.  Using printed material, patterned cloth, lace, romance novels, and erotic magazines McIntosh selects and edits the content from the print material and juxtaposes the images with different materials in a witty critique. He is an MFA student (Fibers) at Virginia Commonwealth University
