Poppy Jones' first monograph spotlights ninety works made over the past four years, foregrounded by a conversation between Jones and Los Angeles-based artist Paul Sietsema.At once time-specific and timeless, Jones's intimate still lifes sit somewhere between painting and object, with haptic surfaces crisply contained in aluminium frames. Each piece incorporates photography, lithography, and watercolour on found fabrics, including swatches from the artist's own clothing. Throughout her methodical process, she embraces fingerprint smudges and other such "mistakes" which make their way onto the surfaces, and some of her larger works include a seam running down the centre, further evidencing the second-hand nature of the reused materials. Poppy Jones (born 1985 in London) is a British artist working primarily with traditional printmaking techniques, tools and materials together with painting, indelibly imprinting passing moments in time on to surfaces traditionally common to clothing (suede, silk or leather).
