Hoofbeats in the Wind II

A sculptural wall piece of restrained drama, Hoofbeats in the Wind II by John Richard distills the kinetic energy of motion into polished metal and brass against a wood ground. At fourteen and a half inches square, its intimate scale belies its commanding presence — the kind of object that anchors a vignette with the authority of something far larger. The high polish draws light across its surface in shifting ways, ensuring the composition reads differently as the day moves, never quite the same twice.
