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.
