Rebecca Jones
Non-linear narratives such as unreliable memories, leaky dreams and deja vu are a central reference within my practice. I address the structure of these forms of narrative using repetition, replication and iterations of time. My work is largely sculptural, using traditional methods such as bronze casting, as well as thinking of time, light and space as sculptural materials. I am interested in the inbetween spaces, and the expansive possibility that comes with something being unfixed. I explore this tension through shifting aspects of my work between context and container, fiction and reality, print and painting.
