    Just as Jennie C. 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 Score (2021), she subverts the precise linearity of the musical device, allowing its bars to separate and overlap until its clear notation is subsumed by pure gesture. In contrast to these delicate streaks of pigment, a heavy bar of black pigment reads both as a full stop or rest and as the fount for the uneven lines of the staff. Recalling the experimental avant-garde practices of artists and composers like John Cage, this improvisational composition re-presents the staff as a purely graphic device.
