​Art Practice

​

Tod Jones is a UK based artist whose multidisciplinary practice is concerned with creating impermanent installations that act as an ephemeral event. These events are photographed as a form of documentation and the images often become their own branch of work.

​

These installations are created with a ritualistic preparing of the space for which the work will rest. Simple materials such as paint dust, tape, wood and fabrics are commonly used.

​

Research and Interests: Installation, sculpture, minimalism, architecture, photography, East Asian aesthetics and philosophy.

​

In 2019 Tod completed a Residency at The New Art Gallery Walsall.

​

This residency was an award. Whilst on residency, Tod created a large-scale floor installation in the visitor entrance of the gallery. He managed the galleries Instagram page as an 'artist takeover' showing new work to an online audience.

 

The residency gave the opportunity to engage with visitors to the gallery. For the finale or the residency time, Tod organised an open studio event to exhibit his new work produced in-situ.
