About S Richardson

The Eumenides Series originally began by making connections to my b/w landscape paintings. Over time, the work leapt from exploring different land compositions to introducing subtle and not-so-subtle representational elements. The story has begun to shift. The Eumenides Series directly relates to a time period around The Furies being renamed. I respond in the paintings to questions I have about the why’s and how’s surrounding the renaming. Where did all their power go? What happened to their fury? Did they change in appearance? There is a lot of calculated upheaval compositionally in the work that creates beautiful chaos and reflects my pile of questions. Recently, I began drawing with different tools and mediums to combine the energy of the land with natural elements and objects. The effect is somewhat dreamy but in an charged Furies kind of way. I have been thinking a lot about what that would look like…The Furies dubbed Eumendies manifesting as non-human biological and anthropomorphic entities. A force. An organic uprising or revolution with an intense reaction to the modern world. A ‘kindly ones’ protest.
