HOSTEM INVENTORY

Jennefer Hoffmann is based in Chicago, USA, where she creates sculptural ceramic works comprised of intricate hand-molded textures. After studying at Parsons School of Design in New York and working for many years with various fashion designers including Duckie Brown, A Détacher and BLESS, she came to establish her ceramic practice while working with the fashion designer Miguel Adrover. Her work is inspired by the continual discovery and rediscovery of the community around her; the use of new configurations of ancient materials like fabric and clay; the telling of unexpected stories; and the quiet resonance of feelings in objects. Hoffmann is drawn to the idea of the potential held within an object and seeks to allow for the viewer to have his or her own dialogue with the piece based on their own personal experiences.
