AMOCA Artists in Residence: Bianca MacPherson, Kristy Moreno, Maxwell Henderson, and Yoon Hwang
American Museum of Ceramic Art, Pomona, CA
January 17 – May 31, 2026
AIR 2026: Compulsion features new work by four AMOCA Artists in Residence: Bianca MacPherson, Kristy Moreno, Maxwell Henderson, and Yoon Hwang. The exhibition presents new and current work these artists have made in the AMOCA Ceramics Studio during their time in residency.
MacPherson works exclusively in black and white clay, engaging with her personal and collective histories to confront racial hierarchies and the constraints of identity. Moreno’s figurative work reflects the influences of her community, drawing inspiration from her background in painting and illustration. Henderson experiments with form and glaze to evoke both calm and chaos within his work. Hwang sculpts pieces reminiscent of nature and ancient art.
The Artist in Residence program, established in 2012, provides artists an opportunity to produce or develop a new body of work through supportive long- and short-term studio residencies.
