Justine's first memorable experience was going to the hospital. She got a
crayon stuck up her nose. Luckily for her clients, Justine has since moved on
to more appropriate creative tools. Her earliest artistic piece was pretty
groundbreaking, it was a piece of wood with nails hammered into it and
involved a piece of her mum's knitting wool and some glitter. After many
years of creating such pieces Justine graduated from Middlesex University
with first class honours. After some years freelancing in the UK she has
returned to New Zealand, where she continues to work.
A day in the life...
"Woke up, fell out of bed, dragged a comb across my head, found my way
downstairs and drank a cup, and looking up I noticed two dismembered Wetas
and a lizard without a tail on the floor. Damn cats. My brain seems to work
better in the morning so I go straight to the computer and play games.
Joking. I am still amazed by the fact that I can sit here in this
environment and do business with people on the other side of the world. I
listen to talkback radio. I’m addicted. Other people ringing in to
complain makes me feel slightly more normal. The view out the window is a
thick forest of trees and bush, and if you stand on the bed and position
yourself correctly you can catch a glimpse of Auckland city through the
Nikau palms. Every so often I stop working, pause and think "Man, I'm
lucky". Then "What shall I have for lunch" |
