Justine Johnson

Justine Johnson is an American artist with a BA in Theatre Arts. Her studies have heavily influenced her interest in textiles, indigo and Japanese art and she spent a year studying in Japan with a master artisan of the kimono before moving to the UK to pursue a BA and MA in Fine Arts.

Living and working between London and West Wales, Justine’s work is heavily influenced by its natural landscapes. She makes pigments and plant dyes from natural materials she has grown and foraged and often juxtaposes these delicate processes with industrial materials.

Fascinated by the decay of man-made surfaces, Justine takes inspiration from the dust and grime of ingrained surfaces and the way in which edges are worn with layers of time.
