KELLY KRISTIN JONES

THE END OF HISTORY

“Across the urban landscape power relations camouflaged as public art are used instead to direct national narrative. Monuments and markers, in particular, embody state-sanctioned abuses of power.

I cover and reclaim these sites. While always photo-based, I use a variety of methods and materials including digital manipulation, on-site intervention, sculptural work, and performance.

Each photographic effort carries the scars, seams, and digital residue of efforts to remove, reinterpret, and restore landscape and serve as a poly-vocal antidote to a master narrative.” -Kelly Kristin Jones
