Jonah Jones’s sculpture during the early 1970s continued the trends he had set the previous decade. They mostly combined slate and marble, often sawn into shape. These works reflected his admiration for two of the 20th century’s most significant sculptors, Constantin Brăncuşi and Isamu Noguchi. More than ever the myths of the Mabinogi and the Gwynedd landscape were his preoccupation.
From October 1974 until the end of 1978 Jonah was working in Dublin, and had to put his creative career on hold. When he returned to Wales he turned his hand to writing fiction; for the remainder of the decade he only made one or two pieces of sculpture.
