Images of Richards work showing his technique of collage and stitch. Within his work Richard transforms his original oil or water colour paintings from often soft and settle textures to pieces of textiles that are both strong in colour as well as texture and tactile. 

Infect he has states with an article with Myra Coles (top sticker Sewing word circa 1990) were she states, 

“ Richard Box is as colourful a character as his wonderful embroideries which glow and reach out to you, begging you to touch as well as look! Indeed one of the most interesting notices on Richards display read’s PLEASE TOUCH”  

  

Richard actively encourages people to get up close to his work and examine his work in every detail. After having a go at his technique I can see why.
