Her artist statement explains the mourning dress symbolizes sadness, “high culture,” the British Empire and the constraints of feminine beauty norms.

The piece “underlines African hairstyles as a craft as refined as any decorative art produced in Europe; it alludes to the invisible labour of the thousands of Africans who contributed to the wealth of the British Empire,” states Jones

Jones has also created a new iteration of the work Freed, using an early 20thcentury dress from the BurnabyVillage Museum’s collection

Jones’ expertise in jew- elry and goldsmithing comes into sharp relief through “Damascene inlay work on objects such as farm tools,” as she explores the intersections of beauty and race.

The exhibition’s opening reception will be Thursday, Feb. 2 from 7 to 9 p m

The gallery is open Tuesday to Friday between 10 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. and weekends between noon and 5 p m
