Moksha Richards is an Australian artist based in Berlin whose work has been exhibited both in Australia and internationally, including galleries in Tokyo, Prague, Bucharest, and Berlin. 

While at GlogauAIR, Moksha’s recent sculptures have been shaped by vertical thinking—from the center of the earth straight up into a universe with no edge, pausing briefly on the surface of the earth to experience being human for the first time and still teething. These works came from an interest in making work with the invisible forces of the universe, such as magnetism, and an ongoing curiosity about the storage of information in matter. Both in the technological sense and in necessity for information to organise the atomic matter of the universe. This work is based on 1950’s computer memory storage technology that uses the direction of the magnetic fields of ferrite cores to store binary code.
