Mixed Media | 2010
Richards’ work has broadly focused on incentives, socio-economic issues, and political matters for the better part of a decade.

He often combines collage/mixed media, stencils, and traditional painting methods contrasted with abstraction to impress upon the viewer these complicated issues in a way that is often ambivalent, yet layered.
