My name is Juniper.

I am an artist and filmmaker based in Johannesburg, South Africa.

I obsessively create all the time across many different platforms with many different mediums. Whether it be film or photography or animation or painting or drawing or ceramics or crochet or cooking or writing or gardening, I always have a project that I’m working on and the madness keeps me sane.

I am a director of TV commercials and other film stuff, represented by Hungry Films in Johannesburg and Cape Town, South Africa.

I have a range of ceramics called SMOOCH XXX and I create quirky hand built work full of texture and color and adventure.

The most important thing I inherited from my artist mother was this need to create. I obsessively create all the time across many different platforms with many different mediums. Whether it be film or photography or animation or painting or drawing or ceramics or crochet or cooking or writing or gardening, I always have a project that I’m working on and the madness keeps me sane.

The more I create the more I wanted a single place to keep all my work and so I created Rapid Eye Movement. I picked the name because this is when your brain is at its most busy during your dream state. It is Getting Shit Done and processing all your day to day stuff so that your head can be fresh and ready for the next day. Which is why if you don’t sleep you eventually go mad. The REM state is when your dreams are at their most epic and complex. There is a lot going on.

Not only does life influence your dreams but then your dreams start to influence your art and it comes out in many forms and patterns and is a pretty miraculous side-effect of consciousness. I don’t get bored easily. And if I’m not making something or dreaming something up then I’m on my magnificent couch, reading. Because DELICIOUS.
