Brass Flower and Blue Geode Sculpture I

A sculptural presence that arrests the eye before the mind can fully register why, this piece by John Richard commands attention through its layered geometry: organic bloom forms set against the cool, crystalline interiority of a split mineral form. The tension between the open, radiant silhouette of the floral element and the dense, inward-facing composition of the geode creates a dialogue of opposites that rewards contemplation from every angle. Scaled to anchor a console, library shelf, or occasional table without overwhelming its surroundings, it carries the quiet authority of a collected object rather than a purchased one.
