Assistant Professor of Sculpture Lynn Richardson’s work is currently appearing in several East Coast galleries. Prof. Richardson is acutely aware of the impact our modern technological progress has on the natural world, and explores that conflict through her sculpture. “We continually exploit our physical world, pushing the limits through our use of technology, neglecting to see the devastating long-term effects it will have on our environment,” Prof. Richardson explained. “My work is intended to be playful, even humorous, in order to soften the hard reality of the underlying message.” However, she also feels “the urgency to respond to these conflicts from the position of an artist that belongs to a different generation.”
