a layered abstract composition that balances precision and spontaneity. Interlocking geometric forms—circles, triangles, arcs, and linear vectors—float across a softly textured ground, creating a visual field that suggests motion, collapse, and reassembly. Subtle ghosted impressions and granular passages introduce a sense of erosion, as though earlier structures remain faintly embedded beneath the surface.

Richards’s use of muted greens, charcoal blacks, and warm ochre accents establishes a restrained yet dynamic palette. The careful interplay between measured geometry and organic mark-making reflects the artist’s ongoing investigation into systems, instability, and transformation. Lines intersect, fragment, and reorient, evoking architectural diagrams, celestial mapping, or the residue of engineered forms breaking apart over time.
