My Turn

115h x 58w x48d cmDisused Pallet wood, Sycamore fire wood and laser ply

My Turn, created from disused pallet wood and birch ply, which are often seen as byproducts of global trade and mass production, has been recontextualized into a handcrafted object. The barrow, historically linked to working-class labour, becomes both sculpture and social commentary. No longer a tool for manual work this barrow is a vessel for storytelling, reflecting resilience and the potential for renewal in overlooked and forgotten materials. The pallet wood contrasts with the delicate pierced panels portraying the fragility of life. ‘My Turn’ invites the viewer to reflect on systems of value—economic, environmental, and human—and to see beauty and function in what is often deemed worthless

Transient Roots

67h x 87w x 22d cm.Disused Pallet Wood reclaimed local wood and laser ply.

Transient Roots is a suitcase sculpted from disused pallets—an autobiographical piece exploring identity, movement, and transformation. Once static, the wood now carries a new narrative, reflecting the artist’s journey and the tension between belonging and change. Filigree panels reveal life’s fragility, while playful word stickers inject unexpected joy. Embracing second chances, the work challenges us to find beauty in the overlooked and value in the discarded.

'Distillation of Experiences' Joey Richardson artist natural wood 128 panel filigree contemporary sculpture inspired by studio shed interior design

'Distillation of Experiences'

​190x162 Redwood and plywood

Distillation of Experiences is an autobiographical piece based on the artist's studio, its 1600mm footprint matching her height. Made up of 128 pierced filigree panels, each one holds a memory or emotion—capturing fragments of her life and shaping them into something tangible and expressive.This sculpture becomes a self-portrait—solid yet delicate, private yet exposed. While deeply personal, it invites others to reflect on their own journeys, blurring the lines between self and space, memory and meaning.
