Coiled Brass Plume III

A sculptural study in tension and release, Coiled Brass Plume III by John Richard captures the arrested motion of a form mid-unfurl, its polished brass surface throwing light in slow, shifting increments across whatever surface it graces. At eleven and a half inches tall and sixteen inches deep, the piece commands its footprint with quiet authority — neither ornament nor object, but something closer to a punctuation mark within a considered interior. The material's inherent warmth is amplified by the high polish, lending the metal an almost liquid quality that rewards the eye from every angle.
