Adam Archer
Adam Archer is influenced by art and inspired by nature. His taste developed from a young age and is well known to his fashion audience through Archer the Fourth's garment lines.
This collection is a personally cathartic expression of Adam's personal mental health struggles, many of which stemmed from childhood trauma and bullying and being called an alien. Adam has taken one of the darkest parts of his existence and found the beauty within it.
When exploring 'Something Else,' Adam asks you to take a deeper look inside yourself and ask, how can I make beauty and find grace within this broken place?
It is easy to feel alienated by societal standards, but know that what is often used against you by others is your true superpower.
Your ability is endless. Your expression is boundless.
Where there is suffering is an opportunity for growth, renewal and rebirth.
ARTIST STATEMENT
SOMETHING ELSE
Inspired by nature, visionary artist and designer Adam Archer uses crystals and other natural based materials to tell a story of rebirth after inevitable devastation.
'Something Else' offers a tale of renewal in the distant future.
A millennium after the extinction of humanity, crystals erupt from the cold grey soil in a flurry of rebirth. We nearly took the world with us as our species died in darkness, the victims of our excesses, but now the sun catches these perfect prisms. Where moments before there was only desolation, now light, colour and beauty flow and roll like the rivers and oceans of old.
Abundance, fertility, and hope have returned.
