About Angelea H.R.

---

Angelea H.R. is an artist working primarily with photography and alternative photographic processes. Her practice explores the body as landscape and archive, using material experimentation to examine how memory, trauma, and resilience are inscribed onto surfaces over time.

Rooted in lived experience shaped by instability and survival, H.R.’s work approaches photography as imprint rather than representation. She is drawn to cameraless and historical processes that privilege contact, chemistry, and duration, allowing images to emerge through reaction rather than control. Across her practice, the body functions as both site and witness, carrying traces of personal and collective history.

Her work often blurs distinctions between image and object, emphasizing surface, scale, and material presence. Through projects such as LANDMARKS and Topographic Self, she investigates how photographic processes can register the body not as a fixed form, but as terrain shaped by time, exposure, and experience.

H.R.’s work has been exhibited nationally, including at the Crocker Art Museum and the Museum of Northern California. LANDMARKS received the Innovation in Printmaking Award from the Janet Turner Print Museum (2021) and was recognized by the Rfotofolio Denis Roussel Award for Outstanding Work (2021). Her cyanotype work is included in Printing with the Sun: Cyanotype, published by Hachette Book Group (forthcoming).

She lives and works in the United States.
