About

Darcy Jones- Artist Statement

My work is an expression of connection and a way of coming home to myself. It is born in the place between worlds: between known and unknown, seen and unseen, heart and mind, body and spirit. It is a bridge and the threshold. I make art because it demands it of me and I feel thrilled by the creation of it. I am happy to focus on making the art that I like making and that speaks to something deeply personal about being a human on the planet. In the words of the theologian and psychologist, Henri Nouwen, “that which is the most personal is the most Universal” I believe that having a vision for what we want as individual and society is a crucial element in our journey in moving toward that.
