Justice uses the metaphor of a farm to describe their art practice, as it is also a homage to his upbringing in Omaha, Nebraska. “Farming is a communal experience. I remember going to my local farmers market as a child with my parents and feeling that I was a part of a larger community. I believe art is and can be this way. I want to develop projects alongside others and cultivate a vast diverse artistic agriculture."
