Description:
The Perspective Gallery (located on the 2nd floor of Squires Student Center) is hosting a reception for artist Joey Jones and his work currently on display on Friday, October 12th. His exhibit will run until November 10th.

A dreadlocked country boy who grew up fur trapping, raising fighting cocks, driving his dad’s 18-wheeler, and playing golf, Joey Jones is a ceramic artist shaped by paradox. His art education has run the gamut from prestigious to folk. His functional moonshine jugs, hand painted with Southwest Virginia motifs of hounds, raccoons, rabbits, and cocks, reflect the influence of his country upbringing. His dramatic and sometimes disturbing sculptures are inspired by ancient Chinese bronze tea ceremony jars and explore themes of religion, politics, and eroticism.
