Richard is a sculptor based in London. His practice encompasses installation, public art, photography and film but sculpture has always been at the core of his practice. Much of his work has focused on the human figure. In recent years he has become increasingly interested in the frailty of human wellbeing particularly the process of ageing as we try to reconcile an instinct to survive with our inevitable decay.
Richard has also been a visiting lecturer at Central St. Martins, Wimbledon College of Art and the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. His work is held in private and public collections here and internationally.
