Fay Jones
American, born 1936
Label TextSeattle-based artist Fay Jones’s paintings are populated with enigmatic figures and objects that suggest a grander narrative just out of reach. Describing her work as fiction that is “caught between curious affection for history and anxiety for the future,” she invites viewers in to probe and find their own way through dreamlike layers of meaning.
