This collagraph by Katherine Jones RA Elect is currently on show in the Sir Hugh Casson Room, as part of our seasonal free displays across the Academy, each showcasing artworks ready to bring home.
One of twenty-seven works by our newly elected Royal Academician, Taper to Green brings together a myriad of influences in a multi-layered, enigmatic collection of prints.
‘Dialogues between the themes in my work, both literary and aesthetic, over the last few years are reconfigured in this selection of prints. Archetypal motifs of a house, flower, tree or cloud, recur in various forms, their suggested impermanence being of significance in each case.’ - Katherine Jones
Though not conceptual in the traditional sense, Jones’ work is in equal parts research and process-led. Her inspirations range from the work of writers such as Janet Frame and Lydia Davis, to painters Georgia O’Keeffe and Prunella Clough, and mythical characters such as the Slavic witch Baba Yaga.
These diverse strands are intertwined with an ongoing fascination with observing and recording the slow germination of plants in the artist’s South London allotment, where many of the preliminary drawings for the prints in this collection were originally made.
