Jenna Hissong is a graduate of University of Colorado, Boulder where she studied sculpture and installation in the fine arts program. 

Hissong’s series Bathroom documents her father’s bathroom as a conduit for generational storytelling, a previously unknown reflection of familial influence in the most intimate space.

“My work in various media explores the intersection of human interaction with institutions, nature, internal conflicts, and identity dysphoria. I aim to bring immaterial thoughts and desires into material being. Through my arts practices, I focus on exploring how masculinity and femininity interact both personally and culturally, seeking to understand the relationship between traditionally gendered materials as it reflects how they complement or dominate one another. I aim to defy the expectations of my own femininity through the materials and processes I use.”
