Work

Archer’s primary medium is reverse glass painting which he pioneered with artist Ron Russell. The technique consists of applying paint or pigment to the underside of a glass plate then applying a million volts of electricity generated from a Tesla Coil to disperse the paint into randomly generated patterns.

Recently he has begun sculpting using found-object armatures which he then covers with an activated resin substance, using various tools to make impressions which he refers to as “markings”, then adding pigments of various colors to highlight the impressions.
