Button Flower Wall Art, White II

A composition of porcelain petals arranged with the quiet authority of something both found and intentional, this hand-made wall piece by John Richard hovers between botanical study and sculptural relief. At just over six inches in depth, it commands its wall with an intimacy that larger works rarely achieve — the white ground allowing form and shadow to do all the necessary work. It is the kind of object that rewards a considered placement: above a console, within a gallery arrangement, or held alone against a plaster wall where light can find its edges through the day.
