Bonsai In Silver

A sculptural meditation rendered in metal and aluminum, the Bonsai In Silver by John Richard captures the quiet authority of the ancient horticultural form — each articulated branch arrested in its characteristic reach, its silhouette at once organic and rigorously composed. Standing twenty-seven inches tall and spanning twenty-three inches wide, the piece commands its setting with the unhurried confidence of something that has earned its place in a room. It belongs on a console, a plinth, or a library shelf where light can find its planes and the eye can return to it, discovering something new with each pass.
