About

Artist Jesse Jones discusses Gentileschi’s work as a composite of three women: Gentileschi herself (1593 - 1654 or later), Saint Catherine (287-305 AD) and the pagan philosopher, mathematician and astronomer Hypatia (around 370–415 AD). All three women are linked by their experiences of violence.

Jesse Jones is a Dublin-based artist. Her practice crosses film, performance and installation. Alongside the National Treasures programme, Jones has created a direct response to Artemisia Gentileschi’s ‘Self Portrait as Saint Catherine of Alexandria’ with her solo exhibition, ‘Mirror Martyr Mirror Moon' at Birmingham’s Ikon Gallery.
