​
Jones’ practice explores memory and self-perception through the constructs of paint and film. Focusing on the female psyche in painted space, she draws inspiration from 50s-90s b-movies, art history, and her own photographs, recontextualizing women as anonymized subjects within fractured and fabricated environments. These painted scenes act as cyphers for lived experience, to be glimpsed and examined. Her recent works explore societal expectations placed on women and the performative nature of femininity, depicting figures in liminal spaces that blur the boundaries between the real and imagined, the revealed and concealed. They inhabit the tension between societal constraints and personal autonomy.
