Artist Bio:
Born in New Jersey to a family of engineers, Jett Thoma was captivated by how objects took shape — how forms fit, how tensions held — but felt everything she touched sink deep beneath her skin. Based in Long Island City, she creates charged environments where the feminine builds and unravels in equal force.
Blending sculpture, furniture, lighting, and projection, she transforms decay into beauty and fear into reverence. Her work, saturated in blood-red tones and raw textures, conjures spaces where tenderness hums beneath volatility, and comfort seduces even as the ground shifts. Through Jett Fueled Studios, Thoma shapes experiences alive with memory, devotion, and the endless shedding of identity. Through acting, she extends this alchemy — inhabiting characters with the same visceral force that drives her art: to be broken and reborn, to burn and to rise.
Artist Statement:
I create from sacred hunger — slow, instinctual, violent, tender.
I am guided not by plan, but by instinct.
I am driven by a love that wounds and heals with the same touch.
I work with fur, clay, wood, projection, and LED — muscle against machine, earth against electric heat — materials that let my hands speak what the mouth cannot.
From them, I summon worlds where the holy and the savage collide — where the soul breaks open, gasping, reborn.
