Richard's work is featured in the gallery this month.
He writes: "I find that clay has a really playful quality and working with it takes me back to my childhood.
"I draw a lot of inspiration from summers at the beach, camping trips, fishing off mt grandpa's boat and exploring the canyons behind our house. The broken dolls that frequently appear in my pieces are somewhat related to childhood as well, but in a more abstract way. For me, they embody the idea that throughout our lives we are always children, damaged to different degress by the experience of adulthood, but eternally capable of tapping into all of the wonder and joy of our youth."
