WILL RICHARDSON - STONE CARVERWill Richardson is an intuitive stone carver with no formal training in art or sculpture. Much of his work is figurative, leaving unrevealed elements for the viewer to imagine. He deliberately avoids any suggestion of literary or allegorical associations in his work as this imposes a viewpoint on the observer.
