Jasmine Lee is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice is shaped by manufacturing systems, labour and process.

Artist Bio

Jasmine Lee’s work is multidisciplinary, spanning painting, sculpture, photography, digital, and mixed media. She has a background in Fine Art, where she was trained as an artist and curator. Her neurodiverse practice explores the cross-pollination between conceptual art processes and food manufacturing systems, an industry where she has worked for over a decade. Lee is interested in institutional systems, labour and processes, informed by code-switching in factories, art institutions and academia, as well as switching linguistically between English and Cantonese at home and in public. She grew up in a Eurocentric rural mining village, so her output and research interests largely reflect this circumstantial estrangement.

Lee is currently making diagrammatic work on Adobe Illustrator and uses curatorial skills to display digital representations onto physical media, such as different types of paper and metal plates, that capture the corporate white-collar aspirational identity and echo sleek corporate signage. These are articulated through the iterative process of documenting cognitive labour. She has a studio at home, built on a former factory site, and develops work in solitude, valuing a process-led enquiry more than viewer-driven production. The tension within lies in the unintentional method of resisting the inevitability of being swept up by the canonical structure, which is experienced in institution-validated institutional critique.
