Artist Statement

“VISION” is the debut solo exhibit of multidisciplinary artist, Richard A. Page, which traverses themes of observation, perception, and revelation. Digging into the dueling parts of his nature as well as his many paradoxical experiences, he uses this space as a way to excavate a rich history of constant struggle. This interactive show provides an inside look into the dichotomy of his inner and outer worlds, and the conflict present in his attempts to maintain them. With the work presented—all original literature, music, and fine art—Page invites attendees to interrogate their instincts to surveil and judge, as well as reflect on their own personal narratives and how they collide with the world. All of the offerings in VISION cannot be experienced in one visit, so patrons are encouraged to engage with them over multiple days in order to follow each thread and peel back each layer.
