Particles-Richard Parrish: Untitled

15" x 12" 

Statement

As an artist and an architect, I find inspiration in both the natural and the human-made environments. My work investigates the intersections and collisions between the natural landscape and the human impositions on that landscape. It is concerned with both physical and temporal conditions, rooted in the landscape of the intermountain west in the United States.

As an artist working in glass, I make a wide range of work from functional objects to fine art pieces to public art installations. The work can be wall mounted, such as the bas relief panels; suspended such as in the Bozeman Public Library; installed as windows such as in the Synagogue of Temple Beth Sholom; or as mixed-media sculpture.

My 20 plus years as a professional artist have given me the opportunity to develop my artistic and technical skills to become an internationally recognized artist and teacher.
