Katherine Jones’ artistic practice is underpinned by drawing and painting, and concluded in multi-layered painterly prints which bring together disparate narratives in hyper-real or folkloric spaces. Perceptions of safety and danger are often described using archetypal motifs such as a house, flower, sun or tree.
