Katherine Jones – The Precious Hours

The Precious Hours series of collagraph and block prints envelop us in cumulus clouds, furrowed landscapes and uncertain vistas. These prints were created during the artists residency at Rabley in 2017 and bring Jones’ empathetic use of structures, space and atmospheric changing skies to create layered visions of a vulnerable and changing world.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Katherine Jones makes distinctive images that are inhabited by ordinary objects, spaces and buildings. Often the structures depicted are fragile or vulnerable, covered or transparent. They are a framework the artist uses to begin to question perceptions of safety and danger. These issues are under the surface of her everyday as an artist –mother and an individual in a challenged world environment.

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.
