These projects inspired by airport spaces is one that like aviation takes off at one point and returns at another and repeating the cycle each time under different conditions and outcomes. The body of work is compelling, inconclusive and opens greater speculation
of what may be considered the modern experience of mass transit through the critique of artist invention. Each is a graphic created through an exploration of process, where old and new ways of working combine.

The twelve images reveal a method and vision which explore geopolitical space and lines of resistance.

Each image is A1 limited edition of 6.

Shards Canberra

Magenta Fold

Blue Sky Shard

In November 2011, Jon’s two works were installed at the corner of Rudd and Moore Streets Canberra.  Comissioned by the Canberra council early in 2010, these two 8 metre folded steel pieces were fabricated in Perth, then transported to Canberra for installation.  They sit on opposite corners of the intersection and symbolise the Autumn colours and leaves.

Runways of the World

Airports are places of transition that enable rapid movement between locations across the globe. Each runway is a site where airspace is ordered, the ground space is equally controlled. Viewed from above the runways and terminals display a variation determined by function. Yet this functionality creates an expressive dimension that view runways as markers of places as well as relics of civilisations. In this project runways have been mapped and translated in a variety of methods that suggest a linguistic imprint on the earths surface.

These works are a continuation of a project from which these ideas of poetics prosaics and politics overlap. Runways are shown in random relation to one another in this book and suggest one may travel anywhere. Random relations between Jordan airport and Beirut Lebanon and Shark Bay Australia and Mumbia and so on. These unstructured interconnections may one day realise a promise of coexistence.
