Frozen Flame Sculpture on Crystal Base, Large

A monumental study in arrested motion, this hand-blown art glass sculpture captures the volatile energy of flame in a form of absolute stillness — its molten gesture reaching twenty-three and a half inches into the air with the authority of a permanent architectural statement. The crystal base grounds the composition with lucid transparency, creating a dialogue between the dense, turbulent body above and the pure geometric clarity beneath. John Richard's mastery of the medium is evident in every coil and surge of the glass, where light is not merely reflected but wholly absorbed and reimagined.
