Khalil Jannah

Khalil Jannah is a multidisciplinary visual artist who finds solace in observation. He’s a studio potter, line cook, and published writer. Born in Milwaukee, WI, Jannah moved to Atlanta, GA at the age of nine. He attended George School, (Newtown PA) a Quaker boarding school, and received his bachelor’s degree in sociology at Bates College (Lewiston, ME).

Since then, he’s lived in Vermont, San Diego, and now, Detroit, MI. He regularly has a surplus of ideas and not enough hours in the day. He writes of his work, “Each vessel references a chess piece while drawing inspiration from the human body. Narrow necks and endings are meant to symbolize our tendency to limit the dissonant information we consume.”
