Russ Jones doesn't make "safe" art. His work lives in the unpredictable—the messy, the raw, the transformative. A former counter-terrorism soldier turned artist, his journey is as layered and multifaceted as the art he creates. From public interventions to conceptual installations, his pieces challenge how we think about identity, control, and the freedom that exists within chaos.

April was a month brimming with travel, laughter with friends, and finally, the glorious return of sunshine to lift our spirits.
