The
Witch in the Wall
In ‘The Witch in the Wall’ installation she placed her sculpture
in niches in a derelict kitchen wall at Sudley House in Liverpool as part of
the first Liverpool Biennial of Contemporary Art in 1999.
Justine was interested in the intimate domesticity of a kitchen wall created
to hot house peaches, apricots and other exotic sensual fruits. She created a
series of shrines in the niches which celebrated the old belief in kitchen dieties
and goddesses of fertility to recall the fecundity released by the now defunct
wall.
