I'm Juniper.
I’m an interdisciplinary artist fascinated by the things we think we already know.
Water is at the centre of my practice. Through experimental materials, photography, sound and sensory encounters, I explore what happens when we look beyond the familiar and begin to question what we’re actually seeing.
I’m interested in the unexpected — when materials behave in ways I couldn’t predict, when listening reveals what looking cannot, and when curiosity opens up entirely new ways of understanding the world.
I don’t begin with answers. I begin by paying attention.
The Practice.
Water does not obey the plan.
Water is never simply water.
It carries traces of where it has been, responds to everything it encounters, and behaves in ways we cannot always predict.
My practice begins with this uncertainty.
Through experimental bioplastics, photography, underwater sound and immersive installations, I investigate the relationship between material behaviour, perception and the things we take for granted.
I work with water as both subject and collaborator — collecting it, listening beneath its surface, observing its interactions with materials, and allowing the unexpected to influence what emerges.
What interests me is not simply what water reveals, but what happens when we challenge the certainty of what we think we already know.
My work invites people to look again, listen differently and encounter something familiar as though for the very first time.
I don’t seek to control the outcome. I create the conditions for discovery.
Material Experiment — Bioplastic Study, 2026
An experimental bioplastic surface shaped by water, drying and time. As the material changes, cracks and unexpected patterns emerge — revealing behaviours I could never entirely predict.
The material is not simply a medium. It has a voice in what becomes visible.
