JONATHAN OWEN
Who cares if Jonathan Owen’s ideas are unfathomable when his art is such a wonder to
behold? This is the artist who took a World War II gas mask and cut intricate patte ns into
r its rubber casing, rendering it beautiful and at the same time useless. Now, he’s taken a scalpel to another icon of security - the burglar alarm. But once Owen has carved it into William Morris patterns, is the alarm any more pointless than before? After all, it was probably a take in the first place.
