3 NIGHTS IN THE DESERT
BECKY RICHARDS
From a distance these sculptures function as a pictorial collage of textures, forms and empty space. They encourage a meditative contemplation of the shapes, surfaces and rhythms of found objects
At close range the work offers an exercise in self projection. The viewer is invited to insert themselves into a parched, abstract landscape; to tread imagined lines through vast stretches of sand, press their palms against the glassy faces of smooth pebbles, and dip their feet in pools of still water.
