Artist Statement

Jean Library features publications and designed collaterals by the artist. The hyper- curated installation, guised as a library space, embraces yet ridicules the idea of brand identity and research institutions as an arbitrary means to categorize. Each publication is concerned by the act of seeing and observation as much as it is with care practices, driven by a constant process of research and revision.
