His practice interrogates censorship, propaganda, and populist consciousness, particularly in relation to colonisation and class disparity.

After a decade in graphic and spatial design within the commercial sector and trained in Interior Architecture with 1st honours, Jeffrey’s creative trajectory shifted dramatically after witnessing the political upheaval in his hometown of Hong Kong from afar. This rupture led him to rethink the role of media, language, and visual communication in conditions of state control and cultural resistance. His approach is both philosophical-driven and experimentation-focused, treating play as a necessary response to late capitalist crises and the ideology of infinite growth. Across print, digital media, and performance, he explores how narratives are shaped, censored, and reclaimed, with his publications functioning as both artistic objects and platforms for critical discourse, often extending into participatory and collaborative formats.

Jeffrey has worked alongside institutions and artist-led initiatives including Bow Arts, Battersea Arts Centre, National Theatre Wales, Wales Millennium Centre, Factory International Manchester, Metal Culture, performingborders, Projekt Europa, Whitechapel Gallery, the British Library, Tai Kwun Hong Kong, and more.

He is the co-founder of Hidden Keileon CIC, an artist-led collective working with migrant and queer communities to imagine futures through non-hierarchical collaboration and multidisciplinary, life-affirming cultural projects. His artistic practice is shaped by collective authorship, radical friendships, and the politics of publishing as tools for survival and resistance.

His work invites the curious, the critical, and those seeking spaces for reflection and reimagination. ...more

Jeffrey’s Quotes

“Where thinking is isolated without free exchange with other minds and can no longer expand, delusion may follow. Whenever ideas are compartmentalized, behind and between curtains, the process of continual alert confrontation of facts and reality is hampered. The system freezes, becomes rigid, and dies of delusion.”
― Joost A.M. Meerloo, The Rape of the Mind: The Psychology of Thought Control, Menticide, and Brainwashing
