Celeste Mountjoy
Celeste Mountjoy (AKA Filthyratbag) is a visual artist and writer at the helm of a practice as caustic as it is sensitive. Working primarily (though not exclusively) with fine liners and textas, Mountjoy fuses a barebones approach to line work with shards of text which range from the autobiographical to the culturally critical.
