Description
Katherine Jones two larger than life collagraphs ‘Narcissus’ and ‘Narcissus Echo’ focus on a narcissus flower or something resembling the trumpet and petals of the daffodil. Basking in the luminous glow of their own reflections they play with the narrative of the Greek God Narcissus, and the Goddess Echo who was infatuated with him.
Katherine Jones is a painter and printmaker, neither discipline taking precedence over the creative process, three intimate scale paintings in oil on panel seduce with her sensibility for colour and form.
