Diagonal Ruffle Vase

A sculptural exercise in arrested motion, the Diagonal Ruffle Vase by John Richard captures the languid cascade of gathered fabric translated into resin — permanent, poised, and utterly assured. At twelve inches tall and fourteen inches wide, its proportions are generous without imposing, the diagonal ruffling drawing the eye in a slow, continuous orbit around the form. It reads equally well as a singular object on a console or as one voice in a considered still life, lending any surface a sense of curated restraint.
