Jean Chung is an artist, writer and organizer currently living in New York City. Her research examines the constant relocating of relationships to space and environment in a period of rapid urbanization, the Anthropocene and digital age.
She thinks about day-dreaming and some of her love languages are cooking and sharing food together.
Always, she is obsessed with being introverted, secret sisterhoods & kinship, pencil smudges, stepping on grass and old tattoos. Currently, she is also intrigued by phases of the moon and heirlooms.
