Augusta Vinall Richardson
ARTIST INFO
Location
Melbourne, Australia
TYPICAL Mediums
Steel, Timber, Aluminium, Bronze
Augusta Vinall Richardson works with sheet and cast metals in the production of abstract composite sculpture. Each modular element is created individually and has its own integrity and idiosyncratic form but becomes part of a larger, typically box-like assemblage. Her works occupy an aesthetic space adjacent to serious modernist sculpture but retaining a generosity of the handmade.
Her objects – suspended, free-standing and wall-based, in stainless steel, aluminium and bronze – utilise the materials and machinery of industry in their making though convey an experience of making and perception that is substantially more tender.
Augusta Vinall Richardson is represented by The Commercial, Gadigal/Sydney
