Jones, a first-time exhibitor at the Cheongju International Craft Biennale in Seoul (South Korea), presented Embrace (2005). A three-part themed exhibition, Jones contributed to "Unity and Diversity" where curators Kai Chan, Susan Edgerly and Gord Thompson, among others, sought responses from craftspeople to review their work in context with the Canadian craft movement. Presented were questions relative to whether Canadian craft possesses a unified identity, and whether vast physical and cultural geographies complicate and diversify the issue of identity.
