Richard is interested in perception, how we relate to images and
objects. In particular how 'uncomfortable truths' are perceived.
How we package them, file them, address them or distance ourselves
from them. He is specifically conscious of how suggestion and
deception can steer the viewer and how powerful and influential
that can be.
He uses different mediums to address his concerns, as can be
seen in his art works. Whether it be a film, an interactive sound
installation or a series of ceramic sculptures. With the common
thread being, that the more we are prepared to invest in a
particular presentation the higher the likelihood we are to believe
in the narrative and potentially have our perception shifted, by
that interaction.
