Louise Richards
Visual Artist
I recently graduated Central Saint Martins with a MA in Fine Art 2021, having previously trained and worked as a silversmith, jeweller and enameller link to my jewellery website.
The focus of my art practice has shifted slightly because of COVID, in that I am now investigating the processes spaces and tools found within the home and everyday aesthetics. Through boredom and repetition rituals developed and I looked at my domestic environment afresh and the everyday activities in my household became my process.
I became conscious of the materiality and functionality of the tools found within my kitchen which have moulded to my hands over time. Through a combination of mark making, printing, drawing, photography, video and animation I am exploring the boundaries of what materials and processes can be used to make artwork, along with challenging the art and craft debate.
