Metallic Ice Sculpture, Small Brass

A composition of polished brass and crystal that captures light as though frozen mid-refraction, this small-scale sculpture by John Richard commands presence far beyond its intimate dimensions. The interplay of metal, glass, and stone speaks to a rigorous material dialogue — one where cool transparency and warm metallic luminosity exist in deliberate tension. At sixteen inches, it is scaled for the considered vignette: a console, a library shelf, a surface where a single object is asked to do the work of many.
