Locust Jones: What a way to go

16 April - 16 May 2009

Wielding his cutting knife like a weapon, Locust Jones brings us new woodcuts commenting on political events and delving into his subconscious. Jones, originally from Canterbury and now based in Sydney, produces large-scale, charged works that demand us to stop and consider the state of the world he reflects. Beginning with ink drawings, which are then cut into woodblocks nearing a metre in size, Jones produces work that exposes media structures and Geo-political systems in a confronting and personal way.
