Unusual ceramic sculptures that depict idealised female fantasies
Through her work, artist Jessica Stoller aims to reflect "distortions of idealised female fantasies by depicting ominous fairytale scenes that interpret female psychic connections to the natural world, and expose societal perceptions of virginal weakness and sexual power".

Stoller further explains: "I use a technique of lace draping; this method was developed in the 18th century when Dresden decorators dipped real lace in liquid porcelain and laboriously applied it to various Rococo style figurines. In my current work I have been using this technique over ceramic figures displayed in settings and poses that explore themes of costume, consumption, and martyrdom within idealised femininity."
Stoller studied ceramics at Cranbrook Art Academy and holds her MFA in Fine Art. She also has her BFA from College for Creative Studies. Jessica has exhibited her work in numerous shows throughout the US and in Berlin, Germany.
She was awarded the Daimler Chrysler Emerging Artist Nominee and has also lectured and served as a guest critic at numerous colleges, particularly California State Long Beach and Portland State University. Discover more at Jessicamstoller.com.
