Flowing Lilies and Orchids

A sculptural study in molten light, *Flowing Lilies and Orchids* by John Richard captures the organic language of botanicals through the ancient discipline of hand-blown art glass. At twelve inches tall and spanning twenty-one inches in width, the piece commands its surface with the unhurried confidence of something shaped by breath and heat rather than machinery. The result is an object that rewards sustained looking — color and form shifting with the ambient light, never quite the same twice.
