Artist: Brian Jones

My current work lies in my interest in the investigation of the transformative character of memories. A remembrance of a time, place, or feeling serves as the point of departure for contemplation of form, color, and tone. The nature of how a piece reveals itself over time to an audience is the long echo of that initial reverie. My work is both a reservoir and an initiator of memories.
