Jamie Wong
she/her
the first person i understood on paper
Jamie Wong is a little sister before she is anything at all. This work, the first person i understood on paper, revolves around the fact that her older sister, Ellen, taught her how to read– but more than that, it is about growing, leaving and coming back. Always together.
This work is something for everyone with a sister, but also for everyone who has ever acknowledged how small your world is when you’re younger and how big someone can make it.
All stitched together, Jamie's work combines textile and illustration to create a collection that captures the strangely universal sense of intimacy, nostalgia, softness, and dependency that comes with sisterhood.
it’s always me and you
it’s always me and you
it’s always me and you
it’s always me and you
first you, then me
first you, then me
first you, then me
i miss my sister!!!!
