'untitled' Aaron Horkey - 2003 signed
The piece was collected by the artist at a Forstella Ford, Mahkato, The Assistant, Sergio Leone, Showering Ashes hardcore show at a farm near Mankato Minnesota promoted by Init Records in 2002 and signed by the artist in 2003. This event was an early precursor to the Init Fest productions which would later manifest in two posters by the artist in 2008 and 2009. The artist collected the object in the adjacent grove to the barn between sets. This piece is an early expression of repeated images in the artist work; namely animal bones, rural imagery, decaying barns, groves of trees, and youth culture.
This is a one of a kind fine art piece.

Aaron Horkey's Postapocalyptic Pastoralism
Aaron Horkey: Growing up in the country with no siblings, I was definitely inhabiting my own weird world from a very early age. There were a couple neighbor kids that lived on the farm just down the road, and I had a handful of cousins around my age that I'd occasionally see, but for the most part it was just my folks and I until I started school. I certainly was outside as much as I could be, weather permitting, and I loved to get down close to a patch of ground and see what was happening on a micro level. Considering there are more insects inhabiting one square mile of rural land than there are humans on Earth, there was always some tiny drama playing itself out if I looked close enough. After a certain amount of time in this environment, my eyes were trained to notice any small oddity on a forest floor or field approach and I had no problem quickly amassing a "weird collection" that was housed in my parent's garage. Bones and antlers, bird's nests and eggs, turtle shells, rocks that I convinced myself were fossilized dinosaur teeth, petrified wood, etc. all made their way into this makeshift museum. Looking at the shelves in this room some 25-odd years later, it's very clear that my habits remain virtually unchanged...
