Bett Gallery is presents an exhibition of new lightbox works, major drawings and lithographs by Locust Jones.

“The Light Box drawings are drawn from myriad sources for example the people featuring in the lightbox Waiting for News are sourced from an old black and white photograph of London Literary luminaries. Global heating is another big one as well as the War in Tigray Northern Ethiopia and the Jailing of Jacob Zuma in South Africa. In short, what I am doing is weaving a story with all the associated News events. Filtering the World News through my own Personal Lens”- Locust Jones
