First page of a new mini sketch book I just bought to keep on me at all times when I’m out and about. I like to doodle and this is just an example of the kind of thin I like to do – free form drawing with no conscious conection to anything. Just shapes and lines. 
In partnership with Swansea College of Art UWTSD.
Edward Jones is an Artist and Designer working from Swansea and Bristol. Driven by a fascination with modes of representation, simulation and mediation, Edward Jones believes that there is something integral to the material qualities of glass, that can be drawn upon to interrogate our increasingly mediated construction of reality.
Further to an understanding of Edward Jones’ practice are three major concerns:
– Firstly, the seemingly instinctive human drive to represent, replicate and reproduce – in greater and greater, similitude – existing aspects of the physical world.
– Secondly, the relationship between these representations and their origin; or more specifically, the threshold where our lived, physical, temporally unfolding reality meets with an increasingly manipulated, mediated, re-presented, version of that reality.
– And thirdly how these mediated experiences of representations feed back into, and affect our experience of our lived physical reality.
Edward will showcase the outcomes of his Summer residency at ALEX building, Swansea College of Art UWTSD, in the […] space from 13 October – 17 November 2018.

I used an extra chunky canvas on with this pour which draws the eye around to the sides of the canvas.
This how the Blue and white jug pour turned out after it had dried (which took at least two days considering the thickness of the paint) Since I re-used a canvas from a previous pour this pour features some cracking and interesting textures.
Re-using my Last canvas for this pour, I used a glass jug filled with layers of acrylic paint which I then poured onto my canvas. I also use a small kitchen blowtorch to pop any bubbles in the paint which encourages ‘cell’ shapes to appear.
I used a white base coat for this one and layered the other colours in a cup which I then quickly flipped the cup onto my canvas. I continued to work into the resulting effect by swiping and adding more paint.
