Metallic Ice Sculpture, Small Nickel

A crystalline study in light and geometry, this small-scale sculpture from John Richard captures the arrested motion of fractured ice in polished nickel, brass, glass, and crystal. At sixteen inches tall, its slender profile commands presence without imposing — an object that rewards close attention as much as it does a considered placement across a room. The interplay between the reflective metal and the refractive clarity of glass and crystal ensures the piece reads differently in every quality of light, shifting from cool and architectural by day to luminous and jewel-like by evening.
