Jessica Mueller is an artist, writer, and educator who explores domesticity, labor and translation. She examines motherhood through ideas of care, service, weight and absurdity. Mueller engages multiple modes of making including embroidery, video, printmaking, painting, performance, and sculpture. She is interested in relationships to process, multiples, connectivity and site. Mueller is a Chicago-based teaching artist that has been partnering with Chicago Arts Partnerships in Education (CAPE) and Chicago Public Schools since 2004. Formerly a Program Manager at CAPE, she developed and supported partnerships for over forty artists, art teachers, and academic teachers, while working with principles and district officials.
