By investigating a collective, more inclusive story around American history, I constructs truth-telling works to reveal how injustices against people of color inform our understanding of society, identity and culture.
A vast chasm of memory for the one lost, “…writing his dream inside a rectangle.” is an exploration of the poetic gesture behind the removal and replacement of site. A large scale rectangular floor piece of hand painted gravel takes on the trauma’s abyss. The labor put forth is an action by myself to communicate the void of absence – mixed and adhered with presence in a deep immeasurable space.

Starting in the late 80’s as an American folk art dealer, Aron Packer built his early career with an apartment gallery for many years, and he became known for a broad yet unusual vision. As business forces changed over the past 25+ years, Packer migrated to locations in River North and the West Loop. In 2015 he closed Packer Schopf Gallery on west Lake Street to pursue a lifestyle change. Packer now works for Toomey & Co Auctioneers as a Senior Fine Art Specialist. Currently Aron Packer Projects is only online and will resume some portable shows soon!

Hi. I’m a graphic designer based in Logan Square, Chicago.
My specialty is packaging design but I have worked on a variety of projects involving branding, photography, print design, event branding, web graphics, social media, and more. I love the intricacies and possibilities in the printing process but am excited to take on any project involving creative problem solving.
In my free time, I eat cheese, block print, kick-butt playing board games, dream about the next plant to add to my already too-large collection, and watch goofy movies from the 80’s and 90’s.
