Richard Proffitt is based in Dublin, International
Richard Proffitt is inspired by places, landscapes, objects and cultures that encourage histories to become attached to them. Subject matters he is especially interested in include spaghetti westerns, ghost towns, American sub-culture, anthropology, ancient civilizations, travellers, den making, folklore and urban myth. The work will often become realised as make-shift ceremonial relics or ritualistic hang-outs.
