Canberra Based sculptor, Richard Barrett, has been working in recycled steel since 2018. Richard takes inspiration from the dynamic shapes found in discarded materials, and loves to wander through scrap yards and recycling centres to find treasures. 

​

Richard enjoys co-creating work with customers, to engage them in the creative practice and enable them to proudly announce to family and friends: "I made that!".

​

Richard encourages creativity as a part of a healthy mind and body, and his work engages with contemporary issues or challenges facing society, such as artificial intelligence, natural disasters or social justice.

 

But sometimes he just likes to make nice shapes.
