Tony Jones Art Projects
I am a West Australian artist of 40 years practice predominantly as a sculptor working across a wide range of mediums and ideas from my studio/factory in O'Connor, an industrial suburb of Fremantle.
My artistic vision encompasses and combines cultural and political issues, local history, maritime and aeronautical imagery as well as themes from the personal and the dream world.
"My sculpture as been based on an expression of personal and public concerns, anxieties, hopes and aspirations, drawing on common symbols and myths as a way of making contemporary connections. It has been a search for forms and narratives, gestures and contexts, that, hopefully, transcend any one incident or time. This is done without resort to the language of abstraction. To establish symbolic order is difficult and the forms and language used are always part of a larger search"
