Richardson's work captures rural life and the everyday drama of raising a family close to nature. Her drawing reflects on the rooster's dual nature: a symbol of courage and food-saving hero, yet an impractical, self-important alarm clock. Recently losing her entire flock to a fox, she found the rooster bloody and headless, a poignant reminder of love and duty. This piece pays homage to his heroic defence and symbolises regeneration and courage.
