Renowned for her raw and wild depictions of the natural environment, The Reeds is emblematic of Lucy Jones’ expressive abstract brushwork and vibrant colour. Jones’ practice conducts a journey through both interior landscapes and the external world beyond. Overcoming the challenges of physical disabilities, Jones paints on the ground, therefore seeking elusive vantage points. The connection between viewpoint and access highlights boundaries to the embodied experience of landscape, both seen and unseen. Working in watercolour, the muted tones of distant hills and brooding skies are enlivened with flashes of luminous colour, revealing the prevailing spirit and endurance of nature.
