Inspired by the symbolism and elegance of medieval and European Renaissance periods, Richardson constructs portals to alternate realms where themes of religion, political discord, and natural landscapes intertwine intricately. These portals blur the lines between fantasy and reality, inviting viewers to step into familiar yet fantastical worlds, showcasing the complexity of human experience through unbound narratives. By integrating elements from dreams, Richardson blurs the distinction between the conscious and subconscious mind.
In his recent series, "Forever Hold My Breath," Richardson delves into altered realities that grapple with the evolving dynamics of our world, emphasizing the urgent need for harmony amid potential collapse. Amidst the quiet clarity of these worlds, their futures remain suspended.
