Beth Emily Richards is a Plymouth-based artist-researcher investigating contemporary myth making. Her residency at Chisenhale Studios will be from 6 November – 15 December 2017.

His residency will run 8 January – 16 February 2018.
Selectors included:
Lucy Rollins, Assistant Curator Plymouth Arts Centre
Matthew Pendergast, Curator Castlefield Gallery
Louise Ashcroft, Artist Development Chisenhale Studios
