Jani Hileman is a multidisciplinary sculptor whose practice navigates ceramics, metal, wood, and photographic media. Her work is often made with intensive hands-on processes that allow the materials to influence the final aesthetic of each of her pieces.
She draws inspiration from intensive processes, her materials, landscapes, personal experiences, feminism, environmentalism and politics. Hileman explores the everyday, the body, craft, gender, and the nature of objects through her works.
