Gladiola Garden

A sculptural still life rendered in glass and clear acrylic, Gladiola Garden suspends reindeer moss within its composition to create the quiet illusion of a living tableau — nature arrested at its most considered. At thirty-five inches tall and just seven inches deep, the piece commands a wall or console with the restraint of something architectural rather than decorative. John Richard's signature mastery of materiality is fully present here, the interplay of transparency and organic texture producing a layered depth that shifts with the light throughout the day.
