Jory Drew, April 2026

Jory Drew is an interdisciplinary artist and educator working across ceramics, painting, installation, and text to examine race, gender, and power. Their work investigates how capitalism mediates intimacy and shapes desire. Drawing on personal experience, pop culture, and histories of racial and homophobic violence, they use found materials, ceramics, and ephemera to build mixed‑media installations and participatory performances that turn the body into a site of pleasure, labor, surveillance, and performance. They hold a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and an MFA from the University of California, Los Angeles.
