Jae Ford is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice investigates how bodies, materials, and meanings are oriented in space. Integrating drawing, painting, and sculpture, Ford creates gestural forms that extend in relation to the viewer, illuminating a multidimensional interior and social space. Their work explores the dynamics of desire, touch, and perception through expressive choreographies of line, reimagining minimalist and phenomenological traditions through a queer lens. Using steel, resin, and paint, Ford constructs sculptural drawings that invite reflection on embodiment and relation.

Ford received an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and a BFA from Pratt Institute. They have exhibited nationally and internationally at venues including Secrist Beach and Andrew Rafacz (Chicago, IL), Camayuhs (Atlanta, GA), 601 Artspace (New York, NY), Generator Space (Omaha, NE), and Galerie Juri Kultur Zentrum (Winterthur, CH), among others.
