Me Me Dreaming 2014

This series of paintings and prints includes highly coloured panels in which many layers of the words ‘Me, Me, Me’ are repeated, like a chant of self-affirmation. Richard has altered the perspective of the paintings so that from some angles the words read ‘We, we, we’ as a reminder that individuals need communities and vice versa.

The artwork depicts the cathartic experience of artistic self-expression and art’s positive function in the developing child, from childhood to adolescence and beyond.
