10.01.2022 Anna Louise Richardson ‘When Night Falls’, on exhibition until this Sunday November 15. Posted @annalouiserichardson How to draw ... Sundae, 2019, charcoal on cement fibreboard, 240 x 91cm. Part 2 of 2: This drawing explores encounters with animal mortality and the broader implications of death.

Unpacking ideas of morbid curiosity, scarcity and abundance, nurture and slaughter, this work invites audiences into the intimate spectacle of death. #charcoaldrawing #mrag #mymaitland #farmlife
