Biography
Video maker. B.C.-bred, Toronto-based Jones, one of Inside Out’s initiates, has received training from the Gulf Islands Film and Television School as well as Ryerson. Jones made three accomplished dramatic tapes in 2003 about relationships and rupture. Erin & Eva (10) is a discursive standoff between two cousins that reflects the artist’s First Nations origins, while 13 Minutes is a four-minute gem with very sharp edges, about a brittle young man who has a lot to learn and uses video and ultimatums to dump his boyfriend: “You can do whatever you want to do. I just gotta do my hair... I’m standing strong, you’re gone.”
