Working primarily in charcoal and graphite, Anna Louise Richardson’s practice is centred around rural life, embedded in the experience and drama of everyday reality and exploring ideas of intergenerational exchange, parenthood and identity.
The Good emerges from Richardson’s broader investigations into the complex relationships between humans and the natural world, tinged by grief and the competing demands of nurturing new life. In a world increasingly defined by division and hardship, Richardson’s work points to the necessary act of radical optimism needed to seek goodness in all things.
