Justice Walz (she/they) is an artist
living + working in Tkaronto.
Hers is a practice of making and making do: utilizing concept, craft, words and found objects in a playful praxis that often seeks to find magic in the mundane, beauty in the abject, and incite transformation through intention + ritual enactment.
Since graduating with distinction from Toronto Metropolitan University in 2018 with a BFA in New Media, Walz has created, exhibited, spoken, and written about art that joins the discourse of living with chronic and mental illness within an intersectional, trauma-informed framework. In 2022, she became an associate member of Workman Arts.
In addition to her art practice, Walz is the co-owner and creative director of Bruized—a sustainable snack company that's embracing imperfect produce and transforming it into wholesome plant-based eats. She began the project with her lifelong best friend/Bruized founder Monique Chan in 2019, and has shaped the business through brand design, creative direction, and packaging design.
In 2024, Walz co-founded fulCircle Sustainability Collective—a Toronto-based sustainability collective cultivating discourse around circularity & greener food relations through local eco events—with Bruized alongside fellow community-minded small businesses + producers (Zawadi Farm, Bampot House, Chef Leah Steduto, and Spent Goods). She created the brand design for fulCircle, and continues to work as both a graphic designer and a lead organizer/event planner for the collective, having organized events such as fulCircle supper clubs, workshops, and clothing swaps.
