Franklin Jeffers is an interdisciplinary artist whose work examines institutional power, spatial control, surveillance, and the ways systems shape identity, movement, and belonging. Drawing from lived experience within systems of incarceration and higher education, his practice considers how seemingly different institutions can share architectures of classification, authority, access, and control.

Working across sculpture, ceramics, photography, print, video, installation, and fabricated forms, Jeffers uses architectural mapping, reconstructed landscapes, aerial perspectives, and material repetition to make systems visible. His work moves between personal history and larger institutional structures, tracing how places and classifications continue to shape us long after we move beyond their physical boundaries.‍ ‍
