Justine Roche is a Sydney-based artist utilising diverse photographic practices to present contemporary understanding of place. Justine’s practice fuses material and elusive elements, ambiguity, and a beauty in the ordinary and unexpected. She is particularly drawn to the 19th-century wet collodion process, embracing the ‘vagaries of chance’ and imperfect traces left by the maker.
Justine graduated from the National Art School in 2022 with a Masters in Fine Art and her works Here / Now (2019) and Dark Eden (2022) are included in the National Art School permanent collection. She was commissioned for her works for the recently opened Capella Hotel in Sydney and was a finalist in the 2023 Ravenswood Australian Women’s Art Prize.
