Lee-Ann Archer

Archer’s present work considers the skin’s surface and texture, exploring human cartography.  Each portrait is a ‘trace of time’ in the subject’s life whilst also linking the subject to herself, in her present moment. 
Skin is seen as a landscape, a cartographic map of an individual’s life journey and existence. Each line and scar becomes a Memento Mori, whether the palm of the hand or the back of the knee, the lines reveal a unique narrative of each subject’s personal history and yet also represents the inescapable fragility of every human.  


Archer is interested in pushing the boundaries of my photographic work, pursuing alternative forms of printing photographs that relate to the subject of the work.  Primary techniques currently being explored include analogue & digital, darkroom & digital prints together with screen-printing, laser printing and cyanotypes.
