Jessica Calderwood
Material Girl
At MOWA (Museum of Wisconsin Art) | Saint Kate Arts Hotel
March 7 - June 1, 2025
"From beautifully layered enamel paintings of human-plant hybrids to delicate sculptures cloaked in opalescent translations of classical drapery, Jessica Calderwood infuses her work with historical references, personal narrative, and creative experimentation. Simultaneously beautiful and absurd, the artist’s anthropomorphic figurines investigate humankind’s strengths and frailties with humor and charm, inviting viewers to contemplate surface design, craft, and labor through her masterful workmanship and imaginative marriage of materials.
With a sophisticated understanding of materials and a sustained pursuit of diverse technical skills, Calderwood’s inventive combinations of traditional craft and industrial processes are an homage to once-considered marginal art forms as well as timely statements on contemporary life.”
