Jones’s paintings reimagine approaches to materiality and form, so too do her recent drawings break established structures only to reconstruct them in inventive ways. Playing with the staff, in works like Graphite Movement #2 (2021), she contrasts the musical device's precise linearity with wild, gestural streaks of pigment.
