Aaron Perkins Fruit/berry/herb: an irregular plural One banana, two bananana, three banananana… Fruit/berry/herb: an irregular plural holds up the banana as an absurd symbol of nuance through a series of text paintings that articulate an alternative grammatical numbering system for the plural form of banana. Aaron Perkins is a Naarm-based artist with a conceptual text-based practice that playfully explores the role of language within knowledge formation through strategies of graphic, typographic and orthographic abstraction. He has a keen interest in fiction and holds a Doctorate of Philosophy from the Queensland College of Art for his research into the potential of fiction and autofiction within painting.
