Cove Sculpture on Crystal, Small

A composition of polished nickel and crystal that rewards close attention, the small Cove Sculpture balances refined metalwork against the refractive quiet of glass. At six and a half inches tall, it occupies a tabletop or shelf with the understated authority of a much larger object — proof that scale is a matter of presence, not dimension. The iron armature and crystalline base speak to one another across materials, creating a dialogue between weight and luminosity that defines John Richard's most considered work.
