Glacial Wisp Sculpture on Marble Base, Large

A sculptural study in stillness, the Glacial Wisp rises fourteen inches in an attenuated, ethereal form that seems to capture arrested motion — something between smoke and ice, frozen at its most elegant point. The stone composition reads differently in every light, shifting from cool opacity to quiet translucence, while the marble base anchors the piece with the grounded authority that only true stone can offer. Proportion here is everything: the narrow depth against the generous width creates a silhouette that commands a console or niche without overwhelming it, a quality that speaks to John Richard's sustained mastery of decorative scale.
