KARL JONES

This body of work is a collision between memories from my childhood of old film and comic books, with how I see the human race from an adult perspective, as this planets tallest anomaly. I use discarded materials to demonstrate how we parasites break down earth and joyfully consume much of it without putting back a single concern, yet the balance decorates a story with light and love. I aim to portray snap- shots held still by fate or frozen by ones own hand. Portraits raging from unbridled agronomy to obscure details of a possible compromise.Story telling of dark humor with respectful irreverence costumed in cartoon animal beings. Visceral constructions as personal bas relief cave paintings, vestiges of loved objects and people. Reconfigured experiences driven by emotional memory. Stabbing at present, alternate forms of adult cautionary tales.
