Salt & Silence - Jade Jones
Salt and Silence is a body of work that explores the quiet, reflective moments found by the sea. These paintings are drawn from time spent along the Cornish coast - watching the light change and the horizons shift. Using soft, layered acrylics and a muted palette, I’ve tried to capture that stillness you only really notice when everything else fades into the background.
