Brass Hare Sculpture on Selenite

A polished brass hare poised atop a raw selenite base, this John Richard sculpture reads as both artifact and architecture — the luminous mineral grounding the figure with the quiet authority of something unearthed rather than made. At twenty-one inches, it commands a console or library shelf with an effortless verticality, the warm reflectivity of the metal playing against the translucent, striated stone beneath it. It is the kind of object that anchors a room without announcing itself, drawing the eye slowly and rewarding a longer look.
