Artist's Statement
Selena Jones’ recent work explores the meaning we interpret from gestures and body language. Using a variety of mediums, she combines fundamental visual components to mimic and reference gestures, mannerisms, and emotions. By manipulating figurative elements, her work describes the subtleties involved in observing and/or communicating via the body. Social constructions (gender, ethnicity, species) are abstracted or removed because of their effect on our reading of others. In doing so, the emotions and conversations in her work are expressed through a more universal language.
