ering in the sky when I arrive at
Quentin Jones’ house, tucked
down a quiet street in Kentish
Town, but as soon as she welcomes me
through the door, the
mood brightens. Inside
the early-Victorian terrace,
white-washed walls are the
perfect canvas for a rich
and characterful collection
of artworks. Most are her
own surrealist collages,
which combine photo-
graphy and painting, while
some, including an inky life
drawing by her friend, the
painter Vanessa Garwood,
were acquired as wed-
ding presents.
Above Quentin’s bed is
a striking portrait of her
three-year-old son Grey,
which she gave her hus-
band George Northcott, a tech entrepreneur,
for his 30th birthday. The couple have a
second child, Cassius, who is the latest
addition to a close-knit family; Quentin is
the daughter of the architects Edward and
Margot Jones and sister to Jemima, theO
