## Caption

To spin the phrase, one person’s discarded ceramic castings are another’s art supplies—which is true for aaronglasson. A recent piece by the New Zealand–born artist, Monument, is a patchwork of brick, tile, and more ephemera he sourced from abandoned buildings in Shigaraki, Japan. “I make a lot of bricolage sculpture, which is the use of found objects,” Aaron tells our news editor, duncan.a.nielsen, at his cabin in Landers, near Joshua Tree, California. “I think that ethos kind of came across in the construction of the house, too.” The part-time home and artist residency he created with friend and fellow artist prescottmccarthy, in fact, started with a found object of sorts: a circa-1956 homestead cabin with a dust-caked exterior “that you could never re-create,” says Aaron. After buying the property in 2020, he and Prescott updated it as if it were a piece of bricolage art, introducing secondhand elements found, gifted, and purchased to create something greater than the sum of their parts. Prescott has since moved on, but Aaron has now added a studio with another sleeping area to the property, among other improvements. Today he hosts artists to share the Mojave Desert’s quietude and what creativity it may inspire, using the land as home base between exhibitions in Los Angeles, Mexico City, and Japan, where he used to live. For our travel issue, Aaron shares how the cabin took shape, piece by piece. Check it out at the link in our bio.
