of the taxi driver is familiar as both a real and fictional character; as someone who encounters people and changes within the built environment, and knows the city as home and livelihood. Dogs are the explorers of place – the non-gendered, non-human flâneur, the free occupiers of the city streets,&nbsp;brave&nbsp;protagonists and non-verbal&nbsp;observers. Iain the taxi driver lives opposite the Art School in Garnett Hill, Glasgow. His bulldogs, George and Harry, ride around Glasgow with Iain in his taxi, meeting people, watching the city and enjoying the journey. https://mezkerrjones.com/Thirteen-Woofs-for-Red Wed, 30 Jan 2019 20:45:08 +0000 Mez Kerr Jones https://mezkerrjones.com/Thirteen-Woofs-for-Red Thirteen Woofs for Red 2019 Edition of 13 Sculptures made for play Wood and Procian Dye Exhibited at&nbsp; Deflect, Cultivate Gallery &amp; Organ Magazine <img width="6000" height="3376" width_o="6000" height_o="3376" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9d991f10cdc24461ebb177958519af8024a99eea6418dc18e00930f9ed1d4280/DSC01965.jpg" data-mid="34183283" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9d991f10cdc24461ebb177958519af8024a99eea6418dc18e00930f9ed1d4280/DSC01965.jpg" /> <img width="6000" height="3376" width_o="6000" height_o="3376" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0d75f097b5ebd709dfff5495016146f2bc14173c833ce72537ee80b20213857f/DSC01979.jpg" data-mid="34183286" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0d75f097b5ebd709dfff5495016146f2bc14173c833ce72537ee80b20213857f/DSC01979.jpg" /> <img width="6000" height="3376" width_o="6000" height_o="3376" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/abba486280f6e7dc7aac1ba1bf7bb44c96b236a9d8d50eea5bf3d2024d31a827/DSC01981.jpg" data-mid="34183287" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/abba486280f6e7dc7aac1ba1bf7bb44c96b236a9d8d50eea5bf3d2024d31a827/DSC01981.jpg" /> <img width="6000" height="3376" width_o="6000" height_o="3376" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1cfdab6c6902d5cb9d6d9b6c3f310e5ccc5aeb02848960382123ca20861afaf8/DSC01986.jpg" data-mid="34183289" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1cfdab6c6902d5cb9d6d9b6c3f310e5ccc5aeb02848960382123ca20861afaf8/DSC01986.jpg" /> <img width="6000" height="3376" width_o="6000" height_o="3376" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f2cb89781f1128511b727818515ea5e847f8c027218655c6cf0d80d2cd4dbf9b/DSC01987.jpg" data-mid="34183290" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f2cb89781f1128511b727818515ea5e847f8c027218655c6cf0d80d2cd4dbf9b/DSC01987.jpg" /> https://mezkerrjones.com/Unfrequented-Tracks Tue, 26 May 2020 13:31:49 +0000 Mez Kerr Jones https://mezkerrjones.com/Unfrequented-Tracks Unfrequented Tracks 2020 Series of 9 Monoprints on unbleached paper&nbsp; Exhibited at Fringe Arts Bath with Non-Place Collective <img width="2994" height="2118" width_o="2994" height_o="2118" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/56e6644711efdd7136d21f81b4bde1e8790ce2753118301ccdfc63e80b62a33e/fffff.jpg" data-mid="72488181" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/56e6644711efdd7136d21f81b4bde1e8790ce2753118301ccdfc63e80b62a33e/fffff.jpg" />Drawings from the fringes of the world.

This half-choice of dissociation, to leave the outer world and delve-in deeper, is often much better than reality. These ceramic drawings are fragments of these contemplations; presented as ‘icons’ or ‘thumbnails’. The keepsakes in your pockets that travel far with you throughout life. https://mezkerrjones.com/They-Used-to-Go-to-the-River-to-Tell-It-Their-Secrets Thu, 14 Sep 2023 10:54:34 +0000 Mez Kerr Jones https://mezkerrjones.com/They-Used-to-Go-to-the-River-to-Tell-It-Their-Secrets They Used to Go to the River to Tell It Their Secrets2023 Exhibition with Hsi-Nong Huang.

It is believed that this structure is not a bridge, but a jetty (from the French jeter, to throw) as a point from which to cast objects and offerings to the tides. Having started life on a council estate in Vauxhall, this year spent as a fellow at City and Guilds, has felt like a cyclical journey. I have been re-exploring the locale, with particular focus on the river and nearby beaches. This mystical meeting point where from west to east water meets land and sky, has been the site of interest to me over the past year. It is a return, to an anchoring, in a place that has changed through time and over my lifetime . I would like to thank Ana Kazaroff, David MacDiarmid and everyone at City &amp; Guilds Art School for this opportunity, Tim Offredi - without whom none of this would have been possible, Hsi-Nong Huang my fellow fellow, and my colleagues at Kingston School of Art for their endless help.
