Misty Mornings

A work of quiet atmosphere, Misty Mornings translates the ephemeral quality of early light into art glass rendered in a matte finish that absorbs rather than reflects, inviting the eye inward rather than across the surface. At twenty-five inches in height and spanning twenty-four inches across, the piece occupies space with the considered presence of sculpture, its depth of twenty inches giving it a dimensional authority rarely achieved in glass. John Richard's fluency with the medium is evident in the way form and material work together to evoke mood over motif — the title is not decorative but descriptive, a genuine meditation on stillness. It is the kind of work that changes the gravity of a room simply by being in it.
