About
Jasmine Lee (b. 1994, UK)
I make diagrams in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop with made-up models that imitate legitimacy. These are made up passively from reading on the internet and consuming content from Western pop culture. This evolved from Microsoft Paint in the school computer suites, where I first made digital work. I enjoy connecting the properties of the lines that form whole structures in the visual language of pseudoscience. My parents and ancestors are from Hong Kong and I grew up in England alienated from my ethnic heritage, so I use my work as a vehicle to work out my bicultural identity.
I studied at University of Staffordshire and Birmingham School of Art, culminating in a master’s in Fine Art in 2021. I have previously shown work locally and internationally, with awards from the Southern Health NHS Foundation and Warwick University. I’m currently based in Birmingham.
