Iona Jones is a Glasgow based artist.
My work exists as a nonsensical stream of consciousness, caught between the absurd and the sincere.
The narratives I delve into are inherently fractured, mirroring the flawed and fragmented nature of reality. Emotions are exaggerated, like the melodrama of the pantomime. Fears and anxieties revert to the simplicity of the Big Bad Wolf. Characters and objects exist in an uncomfortable space, echoing the hauntology of our biographies and collective memories.
My practice focuses on brokenness, failure, and repair through repetitive reconstruction. I take apart found materials and reassemble them into them into new forms, this method reflects a longing to transform, to become something other.
