The Definitive Collection shows AJ at his best. There are visual tricks, stark geometrics, and butterflies dancing through dawn-grey meadows.
In Polygraph, for example, he turns a simple tonal pattern into an essay on truth and honesty. And in Warped Tradition he challenges centuries of rug design through the subtle power of distortion. With AJ nothing is quite what you see. But what you do see, you want to look at again and again.
