Expression
Jamaica Jones creates mixed media and collage artworks that live in the space between structure and surrender. Her pieces are built from cut paper, ink, paint, and found materials, often torn maps, old works, and imperfect scraps, arranged in layered compositions that feel as if they’re forming themselves. Unlike traditional cut paper artists who prioritize precision and tidy forms, Jamaica embraces chaos, instinct, and the raw edges of imperfection. She lets the materials guide the process, allowing each piece to emerge through intuition rather than rigid planning. The result is work that feels alive, dynamic, textural, and emotionally resonant. Symbolism plays a central role in her practice. Themes of transformation, grief, identity, climate crisis, and the fragile relationship between humanity and nature recur throughout her work. Nature is not treated as background, but as an active force, often threatened, often mystical, sometimes burning. Jones’ work resists the overly polished or commercial aesthetic. It is not made to be cute or easily consumable. Instead, it aims to provoke thought, evoke emotion, and hold space for complexity. Sometimes beautiful, sometimes unsettling, always honest.
