In the beginning, there was a big house, many siblings, a huge vegetable garden, a tree house, a forest, games and no TV. Justine and Cow grew up in the Val d’Argent, in Lièpvre.
After receiving training as a crystal cutter, Justine made a name for herself in the valley with her paintings on wood. It was when she left the valley that textiles came into her work.
Like a need to draw in volume, to patch up the inert, to give life.
From stitch to stitch, wire to driftwood, abandoned toys to broken necklaces, inspired by the encounter of a damask, a cotton fabric, a color or a curve, she sculpts, assembles, embroiders and explores.
Justine and Cow’s universe is sometimes disturbing, but often gentle.
