The body of work that Gina’s has produced since her graduation in 2005 from RMIT Melbourne (MFA) has been based on light and the perception of time.

Gina’s architectural training and career has subconsciously directed her to use materials sympathetic to both architecture and the fine arts, materials such as laser cut steel, glass or Perspex and even the New Zealand classic; corrugated iron. The skill is to balance the coldness of these materials with the warm (and mesmerising) slowly changing light.

As with the traditions of abstract painting, the foci of Gina’s work is on time and space, as she aims to create a protracted and more intense viewing experience. It has been commented that if someone was to spend enough time spent in a Gina Jones exhibition they would feel themselves being subjected to a sense of relaxation and timelessness.

The objective of Gina’s work is to create an extension of the viewing experience. Even though you know that the colour (in the work) is changing, the change occurs so smoothly that it defies conscious registry and so a synaesthetic response to the primary light colours occurs.

Gina has consistently integrated 3D qualities into her work. The illusion of depth captures the viewer and ultimately invites contemplation.
