CLOUD GAZING by HOLLY RAE JONES
PBC
IN HER DEBUT PHOTO BOOK, "CLOUD GAZING', HOLLY RAE JONES LEADS US THROUGH A DREAMY AND HEDONISTIC WORLD SCATTERED WITH CLUES OF THE DECADENCE OF THE PAST. VENDING MACHINES DISPENSING ONLY BOUQUETS OF FLOWERS, KARAOKE BOOTHS WITH ANCIENT PATTERNED WALLPAPER, SUN-BLEACHED HOLLYWOOD SHOP WINDOW DISPLAYS.
THESE IMAGES - AT TIMES BORDERING ON KITSCH - ARE FASCINATED WITH TIRED CONSUMERISM AND HAVE A SAD BUT CELEBRATORY QUALITY TO THEM. NOTHING IS STRAIGHTFORWARD IN THE WORLD THAT JONES CRAFTS; SHE ASKS THE VIEWER WHETHER THE CLOUDS THEY ARE GAZING AT ARE A PICTURE OF CLOUDS OR A PICTURE OF A PICTURE OF CLOUDS.
THE PHOTOGRAPHS IN THIS BOOK ARE AUGMENTED WITH GRAPHICS FROM HOPE ROALFE.
