AUGUSTA VINALL RICHARDSON
b. 1991, AustraliaAugusta Vinall Richardson (b. 1991) lives and works in Naarm Melbourne. Vinall Richardson works with cardboard and metals to create abstract, modular sculptures that function both as independent objects and as structures of their own support. Neither fully autonomous nor entirely provisional, her works enact a paradoxical impetus toward monumentality and fragility, permanence and impermanence, troubling conventional understandings of sculptural independence and the built environment. Drawn, stenciled, cut, folded, cast, and welded by hand in her studio, Vinall Richardson’s sculptures engage with and resist increasingly mechanised, tech-driven modes of contemporary artistic production.
Vinall Richardson completed a Master of Fine Art at Monash University in 2022 and has exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney Australia, La Trobe Art Institute, Djaara Bendigo, and the 2024 Melbourne Sculpture Biennial.
