Archer, Justin_ Well Worn 1.jpg

well worn

basswood, Acrylic

2022

There is something significant about an object whose history is rich, but unknown. Something inviting about reflecting on what once was, but also imagining what could be. In "Well Worn" and "Still Here" I reflected on these ideas, how a fragmented object could provide a history and a possibility at the same moment.

lamination

This piece was laminated with vertical lines, producing upward movement. It creates an invitation to consider what's present, and what's missing.

In this work, the process of chainsaw was predominately about removing excess material to arrive at the silhouette.

carving

The shoes became a significant element within these works. They provide a unique opportunity to explore culture and identity.
