Aaron Hawks: “Timeless records of sexual noir”
December 21st, 2005 by Melissa Gira

Some of my nights used to start like his work: getting inside of that perfect peeled paint & wallpaper known to anyone who’s been out wandering in abandoned, off-limits locales. Then behind that parted door, that empty window, there’s a woman in fur and rubber looking right at me. Dark haired, dark-hearted. She’s as doomed and demanding as the crumbling walls around her.

Photographer Aaron Hawks makes me want to breath in the fumes and asbestos for as long as it takes to get close to her and bow down to ruined lust.
