Jessamine Liu

Jessamine (柳垂萱, she/her) is a cis-queer, Filipino-Taiwanese, egg-obsessed diasporic artist, hobby collector, facilitator, and student counsellor. She is also known as shyegg (IG: @shyegg_) in the art/ vending community, where she features her many crafts including pottery/ ceramics, crochet, embroidery, and polymer clay. Her art can best be described as eclectic meets cutesy uwu energy 🍳. As a diasporic artist who is unsure of her ancestors origin, cultural and community spaces and places hold special meaning to her. Jessamine hopes to find out more about her roots and communities through connection and conversation. While she may never find closure, she can certainly find community. Jessamine is currently based on the stolen and traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səl̓ilwətaɁɬ təməxʷ (Tsleil-Waututh) nations, colonially known as Vancouver, BC, and has roots in Taiwan, the Philippines, and provinces in China.
