Jones is a well-known Western Australian artist who has described his artistic vision as combining cultural and political issues, local history, maritime and aeronautical imagery as well as themes from the personal and the imagined. “My sculpture has been based on an expression of personal and public concerns, anxieties, hopes and aspirations, drawing on common symbols and myths as a way of making contemporary connections. It has been a search for forms and narratives, gestures and contexts, that transcend any one incident or time. This is often done without resort to the language of abstraction.” Jones had a retrospective of his work in 1994 at the University of Western Australia and he received an OAM in 2007 for his achievements as an artist and an art teacher.
