Astral Veil Sculpture on Marble, Small

A quiet study in celestial refinement, the Astral Veil Sculpture layers polished brass and metal against a grounded marble base, its mother-of-pearl and shell inlay catching light with the unhurried iridescence of something found rather than made. At eighteen inches, it commands presence without demanding attention — the scale of a considered accent, the gravity of a collected object. John Richard brings to this piece the studied restraint that distinguishes sculpture from decoration, allowing each material to speak in its own register while the composition reads as a single, luminous whole.
