Joyce Campbell (b. 1971 New Zealand) received an MFA with honours from the University of Auckland in Auckland, New Zealand, in 1999 and a BFA from Canterbury University in Christchurch, New Zealand, in 1992. She is an interdisciplinary artist working in photography, sculpture, film and video installation, as well as a lecturer at the University of Auckland Elam School of the Arts. Her recent work utilizes anachronistic photographic techniques to examine the collision of natural and cultural systems. In early spring of 2006 Campbell traveled to the Ross Sea region of Antarctica for two weeks with the Artists to Antarctica program sponsored by Creative New Zealand and Antarctica New Zealand. Upon her return she produced the "Last Light" series of massive vertical photographic scrolls, panoramic photographic murals, 5x7 inch daguerreotypes and digital video loops that dwell on the Antarctica of gothic imagination: primordial, untamable and largely untouched. The work was driven by Campbell's burgeoning horror at the effects of climate change on the earths polar icecaps and it invites viewers to experience Antarctica in a volatile and precarious state as its massive ice shelves begin to warm and melt.

She is represented by McNamara Gallery in Wanganui, New Zealand, two rooms in Auckland, New Zealand, and has an ongoing exhibiting relationship with G727 in Los Angeles. Joyce Campbell lives and works in Auckland, New Zealand, and Los Angeles.
