New studio visit & interview up now on our website! Right in time for his solo show "At Least We're Damned Together," that opens tomorrow (Saturday, June 6th) from 6-9pm, we checked out 's Mission District studio to see all the amazing work he'd been cooking up for the exhibit.

We followed up with an interview with Joel and talked about everything ranging from the precarious state of the world, to the intricate stories and meanings behind his paper mache sculptures, to his partner and his supportive and often collaborative role in Joel's creative processes.

"The title [At Least We're Damned Together] was inspired by a piece that I made a long time ago where a snake swallowed two men, but the men inside the snake are relaxed and smoking a joint. It’s about the idea that we can find silver linings in difficult moments. I think that’s the mantra that we’re all in right now, trying to find the upside and the positives in a dark moment in society."

—Joel Hernandez

To read the whole interview, please head over to the Moth Belly Media section of our website mothbelly.org (or follow the "Studio Visits & Interviews" link in the Linktree in our bio).

"At Least We're Damned Together" opens tomorrow and will be on view until Saturday, July 25th. For any and all inquiries, or to request a link to the collector's preview before the opening, please email us at [email protected]
