Glass Dragon Sculpture, Large Blue

A sinuous dragon rendered in art glass, the large blue sculpture from John Richard arrests the eye with the kind of presence that only a truly considered object can command. At fourteen and a half inches tall, its proportions are neither monumental nor modest — they occupy that precise register where a piece commands a surface without overwhelming it. The depth of the blue shifts with the light, the glass lending the form an almost liquid quality that animates the silhouette throughout the day.
