Katherine Jones RA – Propagation of Sound

Made in 2014 while a fellow in printmaking at the City and Guilds of London Art school and recently editioned, this print began with thoughts on speaking and listenin Influences included Sylvia Plath’s, ‘The Bell Jar’,  the science experiment of placing a ringing alarm clock inside a bell jar and gradually removing the oxygen until the sound is no longer audible and bees and the decrease in their numbers.

Katherine Jones makes distinctive images that are inhabited by plants, ordinary objects, spaces and buildings. Often the structures depicted are fragile or vulnerable, covered or transparent. Jones is a painter and a printmaker, her ideas are often exchanged between watercolour, etchings and collagraph prints. She builds layers, overlays marks and colour to create rich nuanced surfaces.
