Softlier Still
By Marnie Richardson
Artist Bio
Marnie Richardson is an artist and photographer working in Boorloo, Perth. While she has taken photos her whole life, she is new to photography as a practice. Her work centres around connections and making the invisible, visible. Her practice often involves not just capturing an image, but also a story of place or a person or a feeling. She has produced work for the Empathy Museum London, the Perth International Arts Festival and various local governments, universities, artists, musicians and authors. She has had work exhibited at the Foley Gallery and Root Studios both in New York, Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery and been published in numerous magazines. In 2022 and 2023 she produced a site-specific interactive audio/photo installation called The Mapping Exercise for the City of Fremantle's 10 Nights in Port festival and recently undertook a residency with the M/others Who Make Collective exploring the invisible, soundless language of mothering and matrescence.
