Loop Sculpture, Large Clear

A generous loop of hand-blown seeded glass rises to fifteen and a half inches, its organic form catching and refracting light through layers of crystal clarity and suspended air. The undulating silhouette reads as both sculpture and object, belonging equally to the collector's cabinet and the architect's carefully edited shelf. John Richard's command of the medium is evident in the way the piece holds stillness and movement simultaneously — a rare quality in decorative work of any scale.
