Creative practice in the everyday has the power to balance our internal systems, refocus our attention, and enliven our empathies. 

Jenna Manzano utilizes weaving, wrapping, papier-mâché, and collage in fiber, paper, and pigment. Her frequently monochromatic sculpture pulls inspiration from the postminimalist object, utilizing natural and modest materials, regularly repurposing or sourcing secondhand. The time-intensive process of hand-making invites silence, stillness and introspection, relying on texture, form, and repetition to invite a deeper quality of attention and awareness.

Jenna is based in Oakland, California. She holds a Bachelor of Arts from University of California, Berkeley and a Master of Fine Arts from Mills College in Oakland.
