Justine Roche

Justine Roche is a Sydney and Berry-based artist utilising diverse photographic practices to present contemporary understandings of place. Justine's practice fuses material and elusive elements, ambiguity and beauty found in the ordinary and unexpected. She is particularly drawn to the 19th-century wet collodion process of exposing images directly on glass and metal plates for their haunting, timeless qualities and the imperfect traces left by the maker.

Justine completed her Masters of Fine Art in 2022 and her works Here / Now 2019 and Dark Eden 2022 were purchased by the National Art School for their permanent collection. ​In 2023 she was commissioned for the new Capella Hotel in Sydney. She has been a finalist in the Grace Cossington Smith Biennial Art Award and the Ravenswood Australian Women’s Art Prize twice.
