Locust Jones
makes art in order to channel his energies; in isolated locales, foreign countries, trains, deserts, war zones, planes, ships, cars, in darkened rooms and confined spaces. He says that he makes work best when physically and psychologically challenged."Isolation inspires a freedom of the senses, inspiring me to respond, be it hacking a piece of wood with a machete when making a woodcut or scribbling violently to exorcise the beast in my consciousness. I scrawl with pen, pencil and oil stick; commenting on political events gleaned from television, radio and the internet."
For 888, Locust Jones is exhibiting a large political drawing.
