About

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 between the different spaces, as well as code-switching linguistically between English and Cantonese at home and in public. She grew up in a Eurocentric social environment, so her output and research interests reflect this.

Current work usually comments on abstract and physical urban structures with symbolic nods to natural formations. She has a studio at home and develops work in solitude, valuing a process-led enquiry more than viewer-driven production. The tension is in what Lee sees in test pieces, where the result supersedes work for galleries, as test pieces allow a mindset for mistakes and improvisation.

Lee is interested in collaborating with local manufacturing companies in the Midlands to produce works that extend beyond the limits of individual studio production.
