With several full page and double page plates.

Jones was born in Sydney, New South Wales, in 1978, but spent parts of his early life in Bathurst and a small town near Tamworth. Jones is a member of the Wiradjuri and Kamilaroi peoples of south-east Australia, and his identity as an Indigenous artist has become central to his practice.

Jones' grandmother encouraged him to explore his heritage, and this process of self-learning formed the foundations of his artistic career. His grandmother was a very influential figure in his life who taught him to be proud of his heritage. These sentiments have informed his purpose as a creator of public art installations, and can be seen through his poignant interventions into sites around Sydney, which he reveals have deeper histories than the colonial ones present in the national popular imagination.
