when night falls
Anna Louise Richardson’s expertly executed drawings are based on her experience of living and working on a 7th generation family farm in rural Western Australia.
When night falls brings together work created over the last 5 years exploring the complex relationship between rural life, the environment and ecological responsibility. Animals are often used in Anna’s work as a recurring motif connecting us all as living creatures with shared vulnerabilities. The exhibition is also part memoir, it reveals the artist’s personal grief with the recent loss of her mother and her experiences as a young mother navigating family, generational connections and her own relationship to the land.
Maitland Regional Art Gallery, Maitland, NSW.
10 October - 15 November 2020.
