Signatures
SIGNATURES
Year: 2008-present
Location: Blue Mountain Center, NY
Materials: Ink on paper by wind and plant
Dimensions: 8 1/4cm x 5 3/4cm
Signatures are recordings of the passage of time, captured on paper without the hand, rendering visible the unseen forces in the world around us. They may be seen as “collaborations with the wind,” wherein the artist takes on the role of choreographer.
Leaves, grasses, and branches misted with ink, animated by the air, become instruments to record gestures of wind, drawing invisible paths. The natural world resonates, marking the paper in instants, drawing precise moments.
This series began during Jones’s residency at Blue Mountain Center. A selection of these works were presented in 2015 at a solo exhibition at ART 101 in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
