Carol

Archer

I am an Australian visual artist of Scottish and live on Worimi land in the Myall Lakes region of N.S.W. Spanning drawing, painting and printmaking, my practice explores my relationship with trees and forests. Such places are especially precious for an artist who spent many years based in the hyper-urban city of Hong Kong. My education includes a Bachelor’s degree (Fine Arts and Philosophy) and a secondary art teaching diploma (Sydney University), a painting diploma (Canberra School of Art), a Masters degree (University of Western Sydney) and a doctorate on contemporary painting and feminist aesthetics (Hong Kong University). These formal studies have been complemented by courses in printmaking and ink painting (in Japan and Australia). My most recent solo exhibitions are thicket (Shop Gallery Glebe, 2024), standing still the trees (Shop Gallery Glebe, 2021) and Drawing Breath/ Desenhar. Respirar (Sociedade Nacional de Belas Artes, Lisbon, 2017). Marking the culmination of a long running collaborative art project, Postcards between Friends was shown at Leung Fong Oi Wan Gallery (Lingnan University) and K11 Art Cabinets in Hong Kong (2014-15).
