Jasmine Peck is a sculptural ceramic artist. Her practice is an intersection of material studies that emcompasses drawing, sculpture, performance and installation. Peck’s work utilizes the human body as a site for exploration of cultural norms, bodily functions, and ideals around beauty and the grotesque. Peck graduated with an MFA from the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities in 2018, has shown nationally and internationally, most recently exhibited in the National Conference on Education for the Ceramic Arts.

“The ceramic forms that I bring into being are both grounded in our bodily reality and hovering in a strange blobby uncanniness. I want viewers to become aware of their bodies when encountering my work, to ask themselves; what the standards are for how a body should look? Where can a body inhabit space? What goes into a body and what comes out? I am also searching for the boundaries of the body: where does the inside stop being the inside? While we may have vastly different bodies on the exterior, we share multitudes of interior commonalities. The investigation of the organs we share, and the feelings we have in regards to our bodies brings us together to cope with what we cannot otherwise come to terms with.” -JP
