Exhibition
A Retrospective - Dallas Richardson
This exhibition will show prints made from the 1980’s – 2013. Most of them are etchings including some of the ‘Rock Series’ prints and as well topographical etchings, mainly depicting the area I lived in. The theme of the ‘Rock Series’ is about transition and renewal of the fluctuating and fragile human condition. Here, I have used the rock as a metaphor to represent ‘the self’. It is placed in many varied, imagined environments; Within the earth, floating above, just out of reach of prospective danger, cocooned in a quiet place, sometimes it is split in two and in an atmosphere of darkness and sorrow. Always it is moving in time, changing, and at times finding ecstasy in renewal.
