I am an artist based in South Wales. My work addresses a range of concerns which are primarily political and often related to the history of colonialism and its contemporary legacies.

Branwen Jones is an artist living in South Wales. She is interested in how histories and politics are embedded within the fabric of everyday life, whether consumer objects or the surfaces and materials of the home or the city. Her practice centres on exploring material form. She uses processes such as casting, and improvising with found materials, while in parallel exploring surface, texture, history and politics through drawing, printmaking, animation and video.
