Fluctuating Black Geode Sculpture

A study in geological drama, this sculptural form by John Richard traces the turbulent beauty of natural formation — its undulating silhouette suggesting the slow, immense pressures that give the earth its most arresting textures. The deep black finish moves across the surface with a quality that is simultaneously raw and resolved, as though tension itself has been rendered permanent. At twenty-five inches in height, its proportions command a console or pedestal without overwhelming, anchoring a room with the quiet authority of something elemental.
