Alejandra Hermida
Alejandra is a Mexican artist based in London, working primarily with ceramics. Her background in product and interior design deeply informs her practice, shaping a strong interest in materiality, tactile surfaces, and the relationships between objects, space, and humans. Growing up in Mexico fostered a deep fascination with craft, which led her to pursue a Master’s degree in Ceramics at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London. She currently works there as a Graduate Teaching Assistant, specialising in clay 3d printing.
My practice explores environmental and social concerns through ceramics, focusing on the ways humans interact with nature, architecture, and the spaces we inhabit. I am deeply interested in experimentation and in expanding the possibilities for clay by combining material exploration, heritage, and technology. I am drawn to irregularities and imperfections within my work and the outside world. These qualities shape my approach to making, where I embrace unpredictability as an essential part of the process. Understanding what could be perceived as inconsistencies as a registry of human existence, traces of touch time and transformation.
