Richard is a leading artist in the field of ephemeral nature art, working with natural materials gathered from the environment and created in natural locations, photographing each sculpture in ambient light. He creates intuitively using the environment to guide the creation process. Exploring themes of existence, transience through an ever deepening relationship with nature.
Richard's nature art is created in a pure style in that only natural materials gathered from the environment are used, photographs are taken in natural light and no photoshop trickery is involved.
Richard also makes installations on commission, for festivals and for private clients. The majority of the time only natural resources are used as the aim is to show what is possible with nature's materials however occasionally sparse use of non-natural materials are used during construction.
Richard also sometimes create site specific installations using anything he finds in a location including non-natural materials such as rubbish washed up on beaches or industrial waste in places like quarries.
As Richard is a leading proponent of the pure style of nature art and the philosophy behind it he will always highlight if and when non natural materials have been used to ensure that it is clear that all other work is pure in style.
