琼斯的创作时常在印刷、绘画和摄影之间往复。与平版印刷技术相似，她将照片打印到由水和油浸润的聚酯板上，并借由水彩对画面进行进一步处理。琼斯会利用她的旧夹克或麂皮及丝绸进行创作，不同的布料以不同的方式吸收油和颜料：精致的丝绸将颜料和油充分吸收，渗入纤维深处；而坚韧的绒面麂皮则会产生斑点，其精细的表面对印记的敏感也在此时愈加凸显。在这过程中，材料的表面变得饱和，仿佛被复原成它们最初的样子。艺术家精湛灵巧的笔触与印版上的油墨残迹相叠加融合，使观者面对画作的过程成为了一场破译“行踪痕迹”的体验。

区别于传统平版印刷的既定工序，琼斯的创作过程则更多地基于直观感受所带来的随机性；她的作品总是不尽相同、难以复制。印版上构思精巧的画面来自于艺术家透过相机镜头所捕捉的瞬间和其精心的编辑。通过对寻常场景里细枝末节的观察：一个空玻璃杯、夹克衫的领子、花园里的花朵、窗户的阴影…琼斯的作品就像一篇篇故事，徐徐展开，娓娓道来。

Poppy Jones was born in 1985 in London. She graduated from the Royal College of Art in 2010 and currently lives and works in London.
Jones is well-attuned to the intricacies of her craft. She refers to her pieces as ‘objects’, limboing between printing, painting and photography, neither decidedly one nor other. Using a lithographic process where she’ll print a photograph onto a polyester plate coated in water and oil, Jones manipulates her objects by working into the surface with watercolours. So much of printmaking follows rigorous procedures, but Jones’ routine is much more intuitive and unpredictable. No two are the same, each impossible to replicate exactly. Jones also worked on suede and silk, often hoarding scraps from eBay or cutting up her old jackets. The fabrics absorb oil and paint differently: the delicate silk soaks them up, bleeding the colour deep into its fibres, whereas the rugged suede makes blotchy stains, sensitive to the lightest of fingerprints. You’ll notice the surfaces look saturated as if they’ve been reclaimed from history. If you look closer, the details aren’t always as they first seem. Deciphering if a mark is the remnant of ink from the plate or Poppy’s deft brushwork adds to the intrigue.
Jones doesn’t look too far for inspiration, distilling familiar sights from her home in unfamiliar close-up: an empty glass, a jacket collar, garden flowers, the shadow from a window. She takes quick snapshots when a vision blooms, deliberating on a few perspectives and crops before transferring it onto a plate. Working on identically sized panes, all no bigger than the pages of a book, Jones’ pieces unfold like short aperçus of a story.
