Aaron Morse is a genius. He understands that, like time and space, there is no up and down or back and forth. There just ins't a way of putting it in order either. This is something wild and true that he's accomplished to portray via "Timeline," a one-of-a-kind floor-to-ceiling chain of murals showing in the lobby of the spacious and polished Hammer Museum in Westwood. And, just as the title suggests, Morse sticks to using historical (and futuristic) ideas for this epic wall masterpiece. See the surreal, imaginative configurations this 30-something-year-old Los Angeles artist (he's originally from Tuscon, Arizona) has created, before the walls go back to nude in mid-June.And for the record, that sign doesn't say all that.
