'Jones y paent' is the artist's first self portrait.... The act of painting a self portrait can often be an arrogant one, so rather than shy away from this, Jones decided to embrace that aspect, painting herself in a confident, powerful stance. As an artist, Jones has an innate love for painting, with this self portrait, in part, a homage to that.... This painting provided Jones with the concept for the exhibition’s title, llygaid hanes / History’s Eyes. By dressing herself in 19th century clothing, she takes on the persona of a 19th-century artist. Jones embraces the idea of people in the present engaging with the past, as well as the past actively engaging with the present. With her 19th-century self looking over her shoulder, Jones places the viewer behind her, as if in her past. This idea of playing with a linear time-line is something often explored in her work.
