Portraits

Archdale’s storytelling portraits are created using newspaper articles relevant to the subject, for a multi-dimensional portrayal, such as Rupert Murdoch portrait crafted from articles from The last edition of The News Of The World.

Animals

Archdale's animals have relevance beyond their physical form; they are crested to reflect a wider financial, cultural or emotional context, for instance A bull for a bull market.

Four Letter Words

Four letter words series include pieces that spell out various profanities. The three-dimensional letters are camouflaged by pretty floral-patterned papers, creating tangible tension between the innocent visual associations the printed designs and the adult language.

Label Art

The boldness of commercial design and logo inspired this series as well as the opportunity to use specific labels to deepen and disrupt conventional representation.

Surreal Collage Prints

The surreal collages were conceived during the bewilderment of the pandemic and continue to playfully depict the confusion and destabilisation woven through the fabric of our lives.
