Jessica Thompson-Lee Water Earrings

Drawing inspiration from the exhibition Like Water at the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis, ceramic artist Jessica Thompson-Lee created an original collection that responds to and celebrates this exhibition, but in her own artistic voice.

Looking to aquatic organisms such as diatoms and coral and bodies of water such as rivers for inspiration, Jessica translates this part of the natural world to expressive, abstracted biomorphic forms and designs that take the form of wearable art pieces.
