Good Bones

Richard Wotton

Utopia Gallery and Studio
68e Guyton Street, Whanganui

8 November – 25 January, 2025

Richard Wotton is a Whanganui photographer who has been working since the 1970s.

The title of this exhibition, Good Bones, is fitting; it shows us the good bones of our culture and the humanity and dedication Wotton has demonstrated by the continuous refinement of his craft over many years. 

In the exhibition you will see an intimate collection from each series spanning his career. Photographs include images from his time spent travelling in Europe, images which reveal his selective eye for simple lines and colour, his magnetic pull to document interesting people, buildings and everyday simple spaces that we might overlook, but he shows us the beauty.
