Catherine Jones

Catherine Jones was born in Barnsley 1988. She is currently studying on the BA (Hons) Art Practice course at Goldsmiths, University of London.

She has recently exhibited in re-construct, BPB Building, Goldsmiths, London 2009; she will take part in a residency held in conjunction with the Billy Childish exhibition Unknowable but Certain, ICA Gallery, London, April, 2010.

The central theme of Catherine Jones’s work is an exploration of the relationship between the real and the imagined world. She is interested in the layering and interlacing of material substances and information, with genuine and invented memories. In recent work she has playfully pieced together fragments of opposing information to create new associations and dimensions. Her work utilises and combines writing, photography, video and drawing.

Referencing the contrived and staged magic of theatre and cinema, the video installation Dolly displaces time and object. Inanimate and redundant props act as characters within a type of vertical narrative. Playing with a poetic realism, the work deals with a fragmented narrative that the viewer attempts to placate.
