About
Welcome to sixoneeight.org - the web portal of Mariona and Aaron Jones. A collective of our web and print design, as well various photographic, graphic art, musical and written musings, this site offers a representation of our identity across many mediums. By using the medium of the internet to exhibit our various other ''studios'', we manifest a mathematical squaring of our creations. This conversion of art to math finds its reciprocal in the origin of our web domain; sixoneeight.
Literally, 618 is our telephone area code, but figuratively we have derived it from the Golden Ratio of 1:1.618=0.618:1.
''Shapes proportioned according to the golden ratio have long been considered aesthetically pleasing in Western cultures, and the golden ratio is still used frequently in art and design, suggesting a natural balance between symmetry and asymmetry. The ancient Pythagoreans, who defined numbers as expressions of ratios (and not as units as is common today), believed that reality is numerical and that the golden ratio expressed an underlying truth about existence''.

Self portraits. One part: yard, One part: camera, Mix
with Photoshop and Save for Web. Also coming to this
menu - pictures from earlier stages of our progression
through life. Among these, our dark ages, as our
parents refer to them*; pictures of the the punk and
metal years we both ground our ways through.
As artists, we both have both fully realized our bodies
as canvas and some pictures illustrate that quite well.
*mom and dad - you were right, we did look ridiculous. but oh how much fun
we had (link to regrets page omitted due to lack of content.)
