Sara Perry
Sara Perry’s work on the use of imagery in archaeology is an inspiration for this project itself. In some way we aim to use this project as a way to respond to the questions she is raising, to try to break out of conventions for the way imagery is used in archaeological publication and to demonstrate in what practical ways this might be done.
Sara’s work is about challenging the way images are used, reprinted and recycled often uncritically in archaeological media. Her work also touches on the ways in which digital media and analogue media interact and the way in which new media fuse and blend traditional media.
Heather Law
Heather Law is the second featured archaeologist | photographer to appear on the blog, her work on artefact photography raises one of the key themes in recent archaeological photography, the perceived dichotomy between technical or ‘documentational’ photography and photography that aims to convey a feeling, a sensation or a memory. Her photographs seek to tease out the textures and hidden histories in objects and tell these stories using a visual medium.
