THE GOOD - ANNA LOUISE rICHARDSON

3 Oct - 1 Nov 2025 | Albany Town Hall

The Good is a major new solo exhibition by artist Anna Louise Richardson whose practice is centred
around rural life, embedded in the experience and drama of everyday reality. Working primarily in
charcoal and graphite, Richardson’s work explores ideas of intergenerational exchange, parenthood and
identity based on her experiences of living and working on a multi-generation beef cattle farm in rural
Australia. The Good emerges from Richardson’s broader investigations into the complex relationships
between humans and the natural world, tinged by grief and the competing demands of nurturing new life.
In a world increasingly defined by division and hardship, Richardson’s work points to the necessary act of
radical optimism needed to seek goodness in all things.
