DUANE JONES
I am. I was.

1 — 30 August 2026
Friday — Sunday: 12 — 6 pm
Opening reception: Saturday 1 August @ 3 pm
Artist talk: Sunday 30 August @ 3 pm

Exploring themes of identity, I am. I was. is a collection of works that explore Jones’ early aspirations to feel safe, secure and respected by developing the physique and abilities of comic book characters and the ‘80s/’90s action stars who personified them through a specific performance of masculinity.

I am. I was. asks the viewer to consider who we are when something that we have made a core part of our identity no longer serves us.

This past month, Eryn Foster Art Stuff has been using HERMES as a laboratory for thinking, making, doing, working, and creating new drawings, collages, prints and constructed works on paper. She’s also been chatting with other artists and passersby about the meaning of life, salami and the incredible life’s work of David Hockney.

If you would like to join in the conversation or see what she has been up to in the gallery, you can drop by HERMES and visit her during open-hours this week (June 16-20th).

Or better yet, come and join her for a modestly catered reception happening this Saturday from 2-5pm.
