Silent Reduction

The starting point for Richard’s cast glass sculptures are impressions, observations and questions. He records images and impressions of his experiences, using drawing, writing and photography. Working with words, the title for the piece emerges; with modelling and drawing the form emerges. The form is the signifier, the layers of mark making provide a language, challenging the boundaries between surface and internal volume. Notational, gestural, rhythmically textural, a few large calligraphic strokes, all inform a history of memories and lives, both past and yet to be played out.
