Jacqui Jones

I am graduate artist whose work responds to environmental issues. For the past 11 years my work has considered themes such as climate change, plastics and the loss of biodiversity. I work with a range of mediums and methods. Fundamental to my working practice is haptic material exploration. Research, experimentation and the taking of creative risks are essential components of my creative process. The outcomes result in sculptural pieces, installations, photography and films that consider environmental issues in ways that are intriguing and thought provoking.| These artworks focus on the upward trajectory of climate crisis graphs. Rising sea levels, CO2 emissions and global surface temperatures are all plotted here. My intention is to simplify the mass of scientific information by producing artworks that communicate in ways that arouse curiosity and conversation, conveying both the beauty and the terror of our changing world.

I want to use the arts to push the climate conversation further. I believe that often individual commitment can widen into transformative projects. Individuals have more power than they realise. I’m not only talking about activism but in people making personal changes to their lives and behaviours. Remember small things are worth doing and worthwhile.
