Discussions with Carol Schwarzman<br />
Virginia Jones' work is gentle, engaging and strong . Her process transacts closely with nature's rhythms<br />
and calls upon Zen's embrace <strong>of</strong> the transient and ephemeral. She borrows from the tradition <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Zen garden and its visuality; however her work is about life in the physical present, in real t ime. Jones<br />
reminds us that the ground we walk on is a sacred space.<br />
