About
Hester Jones is a British Artist based in London, UK. She spent several years in Italy, where she had her first training in photography, followed by PgCert Photography at Central St Martins School of Art and MA Photography at London College of Communication. From October 2015-Feb 2017 she travelled through Russia and Asia teaching film-making & photography to kids from underserved communities, also helping marine conservation, women's and animal welfare organisations along the way.
Hester's practice incorporates photography, video, installation, sound, found images, and objects to probe gender roles and hierarchical structures in patriarchal society. Her work is inspired by eco-feminism and animal studies: to explore human and animal consciousness, behaviors and emotions, such as empathy, fear, joy, and anxiety. She is also committed to working in the area of Arts and Health.
She has exhibited and published in the UK and abroad including shows at Brighton Photo Fringe, Bath Royal Literary & Scientific Institute, Barbican Arts Trust, Krakow Photomonth and Photomonth East London. She has led participatory photography projects commissioned by Arts Council England and at The Photographer's Gallery London.
In Feb-April 2017 she is showing work at the newly opened Animal Museum, Los Angeles, USA, with 14 international artists, to commemorate Carol J Adam's 25th Anniversary of The Sexual Politics of Meat. Her writing and photographs are published in the accompanying book The Art of the Animal.
