Jessica Jordon
Ceramics
Jess Jordan’s current body of work is inspired by aerial views of the landscape. She explores the patterns, textures, and surfaces that emerge from a bird’s-eye perspective. These views reveal a layered language of marks—some shaped by human intervention, others formed through natural processes. The physical act of mark-making echoes the erosion, growth, and change found in the
environment.
