Marion Jones
My starting point when I begin a painting relates specifically to form and structure and also at times it is informed by a close examination of textures and surfaces.
As the painting develops it is always the structure that is the most important feature. How the eye is led across the painting and how the viewer relates to the painting.
Often a painting will develop through a series of layers and motifs which have been developed over time. Some layers will be visable and motifs and patterns will be distorted and changed as the painting develops.
My current work seeks to combine my interests in form and structure with literary sources notably 'The trees of all Ireland' inspired by a passage in Joyce's Ulysses.
