"Xerocks & Potholes" by Lindsay Jones
from the “Potholes” Series by Lindsay Jones
(mixed media on paper)
“My art thrives on experiences spent in the outdoors; exploring new places, and taking the time to slowly absorb my natural surroundings.”
Carbondale Arts presented “Xerocks & Potholes” a solo exhibition by Carbondale-based artist Lindsay Jones at the Carbondale Arts Gallery on display May 24 through June 26, 2024. The opening reception took place on First Friday, June 7, from 5-7pm at The Launchpad, with an artist talk at 5:30pm.
“Analog Nature” a 2-person show featuring works by artists Rob Borchardt and Robert G. Burch ran concurrently (May 24 - June 26) in the second gallery space.
"Xerocks & Potholes" was a solo exhibition by Lindsay Jones that focused on themes of nature, and its cycles of change. The title was a playful allusion to the subject matter in her work, and the processes she uses to create her mixed media drawings, paintings and animations.
Lindsay’s work frequently unites the cynical with the phenomenal, transforming those ideas into playfully charming images, with an ominous undertone.
