About the member

A Fine Art graduate and the recipient of a number of awards for visual art, I am passionate about environmental sustainability, biodiversity, food security and local food networks. Drawing on personal experiences as an artist and oyster farmer based in the West of Ireland, my work examines the complicated relationships between land, landscape and ecology in a rural space by layering the conflicting histories of colonialism and invasion with current issues of biodiversity and coastal erosion.

Embracing the sublime, my work investigates the allure of the rural landscape whilst acknowledging the dark histories of the past. Creating immersive experiences, linking the many pasts with the present within the landscape, gives insight into the realities and expectations of land and sustainability in the Irish rural environment.

Frost Jones

Visual artist working with photography, video, installation and sculpture. Member of Backwater Artists, Sample Studios and the National Sculpture Factory. Passionate about environmental sustainability, biodiversity and local food networks whilst sustaining a growing eco-social art practice using text, found objects, photography and video in the wild landscape of the Beara Penninsula in Southwest Ireland.

 

My work explores personal histories of invasion, famine and colonisation, interrogating the human/nature relationship of industry within the countryside whilst observing the constant movement and change inherent in a working landscape and decolonising the archive.
