The Good | Anna Louise Richardson
From Saturday 15 November 2025
To Sunday 15 February 2026
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.
