Jessica Hernandez is a ceramic artist working in Buffalo, NY. Born in California, Hernandez uses her passion for aquatic life to give a voice to the plight of these animals in the ever-changing political and environmental landscape. Her biomorphic sculptures are inspired by recurring dreams, literature, and the vast beauty of the ocean. Using the visual language of coral, crustaceans, mollusks, and other sea life, Hernandez conceives forms of life that may exist only within a human-constructed record. She uses wheel throwing, handbuilding, and press mold techniques to form representations of complex organisms. She graduated from Colorado Mesa University (Grand Junction) in 2021 with a BFA in studio art and a focus on ceramics.
