Description
Pocket Full of Stories is a reflection on the moments, memories, and experiences we carry with us throughout life. Standing side by side, two figures become quiet storytellers, their patterned garments and sculptural forms symbolizing the layers of history, family, love, and resilience woven into every generation. Though their stories are uniquely their own, together they remind us that our lives are forever shaped by the people who walk beside us.
Created as an original mixed media relief sculpture, the work showcases Mark Richardson's signature process of hand-cut forms, dimensional layering, and expressive color. Every raised element creates shifting light and shadow, inviting viewers to experience the sculpture from multiple perspectives while discovering new details with each encounter.
The title speaks to the unseen narratives we all carry—memories tucked away like treasured keepsakes, waiting to be shared. Through contemporary figurative storytelling, Richardson celebrates connection, heritage, and the richness of everyday life, transforming ordinary moments into lasting works of art.
