Summary:

This new group of paintings, made specifically for the exhibition, marks a significant development in Jones's ongoing interest in the mouth as a central motif in her work. In these paintings, the focus shifts from the rows of teeth that have previously run across Jones's canvases to the lone structure of a single tooth. Activated by the cacophonies of color laid down beneath in oil stick and pastel, the outlined shape of the tooth is repeated across the paintings as a symbolic shorthand for interior experience, particularly the interiority of Black lived experience, in a mode that is untethered from direct bodily representation.
