Richard Healy

(b 1980, London UK) lives and works
in London. His work encompasses
a number of media including video,
sculpture, installation and print; central is the role of function. Embodied
through simulations of design, his
practice frequently engages with
digital technology as a means for artistic production and with it the acts
of labour that are obscured beneath
the finish.
