Richard’s Statement on the Exhibition and workshop:
I was moved by the way these women were working. They would do their everyday work of looking after their family, cooking their breakfast for the kids who are going to school and then doing everything they do at home as mothers. Then they would engage themselves in their new occupation, driving these tricycles on these bumpy roads; making some money for their family...
I was really moved by how tough and hardworking the women are... That's why I decided to do these paintings, in honour of them.
