The 24 rune characters of the elder “futhark” alphabet are especially meaningful to Richard, whose ancestry is Norwegian.
He often incorporates materials such as metal or wood and uses colors evoking the forest to suggest the culture of Norway before the 14th century, when such runes were used in commerce but were also assigned symbolic associations.
Artist Talk
Richard will explain the origin of traditional runes, who used them and for what purpose, including reproductions of runes found in Scandinavia.
He will also touch on his background and fascination with the subject matter.
