About
Jon, a ceramic figure maker, enjoys responding to the characters, scenarios, and hidden folklore that enrich a community. He works on these ideas through figurative animal-human forms, which play on themes of allegory and memory.
When making, Jon looks for a tipping point, the moment when a character becomes relatable, with an animation of process, rather than feeling overworked
As a dedicated diary keeper, Jon often uses writing as a means of working through challenges and likes the idea of his work also in this role, being a figurative other with which to have a dialogue. In this sense, he is also interested in how time becomes a hand in his work, the idea of capturing a fragile, transitory state, which may be read in the hereafter.
