Nicholas Jones
Nicholas Jones is a Melbourne-based book sculptor who transforms discarded books into intricate, concept-driven artworks. For over two decades, his practice has explored the material and narrative possibilities of the printed page—carving, folding, and reconfiguring books to uncover new meanings.
Jones holds degrees in Fine Art from the Victorian College of the Arts and RMIT University, and a Graduate Diploma of Education from the University of Melbourne. His work has been exhibited widely, with solo shows at the State Library of Victoria, Geelong Gallery, and Craft Victoria, and is held in major public and private collections including the NGV, State Library of Queensland, and Deakin University.
A passionate educator, Jones regularly teaches book alteration workshops and was artist in residence at Fairfield Primary School in 2024. He has received grants and fellowships from the Australia Council, Ian Potter Cultural Trust, and the State Library of Victoria.
