Frederick Wright Jones’ work, a method of researching the contradictions of the human condition and his life narrative, explores how power, guilt, duty, and entitlement define belonging. Growing up a light-skinned African-American and then living as a foreigner in Germany, motivates his work. Though tactile, his objects materialize uncertainties we cannot see and forces we cannot measure. Like objects in a museum, Frederick, the son of an artist and archeologist, is out of place within narratives of linear progress and locational hierarchies. He is currently an assistant professor of Sculpture at Muhlenberg College in Allentown, PA.
