“Art is a quintessentially human activity, made by beings fraught with longing and loss. It acts as a looking glass for society - showing us who we are.This definition of art fits Pete Jones like a glove: his work emerges directly from his experience of other human beings, seen in all their vulnerability and mortality - yet still astonishingly present. In time I am quite sure that Pete Jones will come to be identified as an important national treasure.” (Ed Povey, 2019)
