David Jones: Born London 1945 |
| About the Artist | |
I became interested in wood sculpture in the early 1980’s. This had an influence on my two-dimensional work and I developed a technique called fret cut relief. This is a process where the main structure of the composition is cut out, usually in birch plywood. The wood is carved, built up in various thicknesses, painted and re-assembled, often in combination with collage and mixed media. The process is innovative and I published a book on the technique in 1997. |

| Education and biography | |
| Education: I did a three-year diploma course in graphic design at Reading in the early sixties. Publications: ‘Fret Cut Relief Work’ Published by Stobart Davies. 1997. ISBN 0 85442 069X Exhibitions: I moved out from London to Herefordshire in the 1970’s and had my first exhibition in 1983, one that I organised myself in collaboration with three other artists. Since then I have had numerous solo exhibitions in Herefordshire and Shropshire. My work has also been shown in Bath, Bradford on Avon, Andalusia and California. I have sold work in the US, Canada, Australia, France, Holland and Spain. A sample of commissions undertaken: • A large decorative orange tree for the Chelsea branch of Neal’s Yard Wholefoods, made in fretcut ply with an airbrushed pattern of leaves, blossom and oranges and a trunk of yew wood. • A series of big, interlocking fretcut plywood arches, painted to simulate a jungle for the children’s section of The London University Bookshop. • A dinosaur in boldly painted fretcut plywood for the children’s section of Fogarty’s Bookshop in Devon. • A mobile of giant gold coffee beans for The Monmouth Coffee House in Covent Garden. • A carved and painted spiral in a 15 ft. tall willow tree and a 3 metre long wooden crocodile for the City Carver Scheme in Hereford. • Two carved and painted oak whales, as seating for children at a special needs school. • Three large fretcut panels for the reception area of Frank H Dale in Leominster, depicting the company’s past, present and future. • One central circular bench and three radial ones in green oak, featuring carved birds and animals for the ‘Withies’ community garden, Hereford. The designs for the carvings developed from a workshop with children from the local junior school. • A seventeen-metre long fretcut frieze on the theme of Bromyard for the new public library. • A carved oak bell tower to house the school bell for Whitchurch Junior School, Herefordshire Residencies: I have undertaken several short residencies at schools, including two weeks at Gordonstoun, a short stay at The Minster College in Leominster where together with many of the pupils, I produced a triptych of the school. I have also completed two large panels for Evesham Public Library the designs for which were developed with children from Evesham High School. |
