Music often inspires art, but rarely do musical containers inspire artists to greatness.  Jennie C. Jones brings the beauty of cassette tapes, Sony Walkmans, and CD jewel cases to the world of Modern art.  She creates drawings and collages focusing on the delicate lines and angles of hard plastic casing.  In her words:

"My practice is both a comment on and a continuum of the conceptual ideology of jazz, an honoring of the deep radical legacy of its experimentation, of hybrid modernist forms, of wit, of riff — the turning of a phrase onto itself."
