Azure Blue Handblown Glass Sculpture I

A commanding presence at nearly twenty-nine inches, this handblown glass sculpture by John Richard rises with organic authority, its azure depths shifting against the light in the manner of still water caught beneath an open sky. The glossy finish intensifies the clarity of the clear glass ground, allowing color and form to dissolve into one another with an almost atmospheric quality. It is the kind of object that anchors a console or library shelf not through volume alone, but through the quiet confidence of something genuinely made by hand.
