He works within installation, image and sculpture. Aas works with scavenged, stolen and found material, focusing on these materials already inherent representational value. He mixes the familiar with the abstract to build a visual narrative that tells tales which distorts history with fiction, science with spirituality and touches upon universal sensibilities such as loss, identity and our past. Aas’s figurative sculptures and installations are composed of a variety of materials and elements, resembling collages of everyday objects and artifacts.

Currently Aas is working with on-going projects revolved around public and private space and ownership.
