Press Release
Blind Spots brings together recent works by Karin Jones, which examine the politics of adornment and beauty within contemporary material culture. Jones’ interdisciplinary practice emerges from a background in jewellery and metalsmithing, where she consistently mobilizes craft traditions as conceptual tools for societal critique. For example, she highlights how materials such as human hair, operate as carriers of cultural value, racialized histories, and social expectation. Her work occupies a productive tension between ornament and excess, seduction and unease, troubling colonial conventions of material language.
Extending Jones’ long-standing engagement with bodily scale and crafted form, her sculptural works hover between jewellery, sculpture, and relic—objects which emphasize tactility, while resisting a fixed categorization. Here, Jones foregrounds how adornment functions not only as decoration but as a site where identity is negotiated and disciplined.
