Tijilkamarta (Echidna)
Jus๔ฐne Anderson is an artist belonging to the Pitjantjatjara language and cultural group, and lives in the remote community of Apatula (Finke) in the Northern Territory.
Justine began weaving in 2010, and has since flourished in her weaving practice, particularly in recent years. She often employs decorative motifs in her baskets and sculptures, which add great character and life to her works.
Her sculptures depict local animals and display thoughtful details, such as life-like saddles on the backs of her kamula (camels), or the tongue and whiskers of a panting papa (dog). She juggles a busy young family, work commitments and her weaving practice with motivation and inspiration.
