Richards Practice and connecton to Manufacturing Creativity

For the past several years Richard has moved toward an immaterial practice based in new media and performance to a material one - primarily focused on sculpture, installation and painting. He is keen to discover new possibilities for art production and the UNESCO project uniquely pairs contemporary artists with the expertise and material knowledge of manufac-turing. By coupling industry know how with the creative community, he hopes that the proj-ect sows seeds for more longer sustainable engagements. For this work, Richard will be working with Triac Composites, a composite design and production company that creates large structures for the marine and train industries and he hopes to combine materials for sculptural installations.
