Having A Ball Mirror

A commanding presence at sixty inches tall, the Having A Ball Mirror from John Richard renders its beech wood frame as pure sculptural event — spherical forms cascading and clustering into an architecture that is at once exuberant and deeply considered. The generous proportions, nearly forty-four inches across, ensure it reads as a work of art before it is ever understood as a mirror. Its natural wood character is left to speak without the mediation of applied finish, honoring the material's inherent warmth and grain as compositional elements in their own right.
