Jonathan Staines (Ireland, 1997) is an artist living and working in Glasgow. They're work looks at the body and it's relation to memory and place. Distorting and contorting the figures while staying grounded in a surreal sense of reality. The stories told within the work exist in a staged or constructed world, where memories combine and reshape to a changed existence. Inspired by the philosophy of Karl Jung and he ideas of a shared collective memory, they hope to re-contextualize their own past to allow the viewer their own interpretation to the work. The current body of the work is drawing from a recent traumatic event, one which they are still processing. They hope that through exploring these parts of themselves that they can move past it in a healthy and enlightened way.
