Justine is a Pākehā contemporary jeweller seeking to purpose her work in the socio-historical context of Aotearoa. She regularly includes a participatory element in projects that represent, map and counter-memorialise colonial processes and events that make up our history. This process of reflection on our relationship with the past attempts to make history visible, therefore nurture hope for a more just future.
