Having been born and raised in China before setting out to study and live in Europe; prompted in Jessie a lasting fascination with the topics of memory, identity, symbols and language. She is currently developing a series of works regarding the form, materialization and development of language. The research into these aspects of language, with a focus on the written forms, leads her to a kind of archaeology of symbolism, that serves to chronicle our history on a multitude of levels.

Jessie studied in London College of Communication and Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam. She has completed several artist residencies, and been awarded Young Talent and Artist Project contributions from Mondriaan Fonds. She actively participates in international exhibitions; her work has been to Venice Biennale, Beijing Photo Biennale, MAXXI, Art Rotterdam, W139, etc. Jessie is based in Amsterdam and Shanghai.
