Through the mediums of ceramics, photography, book arts, and sound, Justine Highsmith creates work about our perceptions and interpretations of time. A graduate from the Pacific Northwest College of Art (BFA Intermedia, 2017), she has exhibited at Print Center New York, Blue Sky Gallery, Well Well Projects, Carnation Contemporary, and performed at PICA TBA 2019 (Mia Habib ALL — a physical poem of protest), Center for Contemporary Art and Culture, Performance Works NorthWest, the Holocene, and other interdisciplinary art institutions. Highsmith was the recipient of a Print Center New York Course Award, Center for Book Arts Publishing Seminar, and the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Arts grant via PICA Precipice Fund for a collaborative publication series highlighting artists’ writing on the theme of “Labor.” She is the co-founder of MAP / Mad Aura Press, which prints newspapers, maps, and ephemera.
