'Crazy Ladies' is a collection of drawings, paintings, and other works by Christine Jones. They are thematically linked and work together to achieve both the reticence of youth slipping away and the quiet musings of adult expectation.

Christine's work revels in naivete' and disappointment. The work’s humor is very important and relies mostly upon initial reaction. From the hyperbolic imagery of carefully woven pencil designs to the deepened expanse of portraits in gauche,  Jones has the ability to pile jokes on top of one another until they are jokes no longer.

Jones' imagery takes on a more serious tone after being absorbed in their social context. This experience is translated through both a fragmented and self-aware lens, one that is reliant on normalcy and coherence and above all, one that avoids the distilled honesty demanded throughout the work.  Her response to this disconnect are images deconstructing social mores that virtually everyone - including herself have been caught believing.            

‘Crazy Ladies’ has at once the vocabulary of both glory and isolation. It is the underlying tension of real time and the desensitization that comes with experience. These pieces point out that what we think of as coherent is often deranged. They appear as shocking epithets to a sensible reality.
