Artist and Writer
“Shot. Silence. Dog low. About to cross the bridge.”
Gavin Jones is an artist and writer based in the borderlands between Lancashire and Yorkshire. In his work – be it photography, novels, drawings, short stories – he is searching for an almost there, or a possibly was, which he will, likely or not, never find.
His photography provides an extended meditation on the ghosts and hidden stories of a stretch of his local canal – between Barnoldswick and Gargrave. He uses all manner of filters, exposure lengths and apps to create composite images at once blurred and of high clarity. He has been documenting his “patch” for seven years.

Novels and Shorts
“Dust the evening from the doubts of dusk”
Gavin Jones writes in a variety of forms, including: novels, one off short stories, story collections, poetry, concrete poetry, video poetry, snippets and aphorisms. His written work – in keeping with his photography – is layered, ecocritical, and shot through with grief, points of change and complex mind-states.
He has self published a collection of short stories (Ghosts and Other Tales) and an experimental novel (Unfinished Paintings) – both available on Amazon. His shorts and articles have been widely published in both periodicals and collections. His poetry has been published (and performed) internationally, including during the Vancouver Film Festival; in The Victoria and Albert Museum; during the London Artist Book Festival: The Barbican Centre; in The Natural History Museum; the Fruitmarket Gallery; Sunderland Minster.
He is currently working on a series of four novels, set in his local Yorkshire Dales. These form the basis of his Post Graduate research at Masters and at Doctoral level.
