ⓘ About Richard A. Kirk

Growing up, he spent a lot of time in the woods around his home and other weird places such as industrial sites, rail yards, and gravel pits. The town in which he spent much of his childhood had a legacy of being one of the pioneers of the petrochemical industry. From his home, he could see miles of flares and refinery lights while on the opposite side was Lake Huron. The lake was a constant source of fascination as the beach provided endless natural detritus and life. As a child, he was obsessed with insects and found that the abandoned foundry and the government docks were great places to satisfy his obsession. It was the juxtaposition of the natural and industrial world that led him to develop an interest in processes and forms.
