Howard Jones: Think Rethink

6640 Delmar Blvd
St. Louis, MO 63130
August 25, 2017 to October 22, 2017

Howard Jones, a St. Louis based artist, is obsessed with tools. But these are not your ordinary tools. Jones masterfully deconstructs and then recombines everyday handyman's tools, joining them with each other, creating objects imbued with fantasy. Paint brush hairs are replaced by sheets of glass, while bullet casings lose their deadly tips in favor of paint brush hairs of their own. By combining and re-presenting everyday household objects as unexpected yet sublime chimera, Jones engages in a witty dialogue with the viewer about functionality, purpose and imagination.
