Nested Stone Bird Sculpture II

A sculptural study in material contrast, this John Richard composition brings together metal, brass, acrylic, and stone in a single arresting tableau — a bird rendered with the quiet authority of an object that has always belonged in the room. The polished finish draws light across its surfaces with a jeweler's precision, animating the piece as the day moves around it. At sixteen inches in height, it commands presence without demanding attention, occupying its corner of a console or library shelf with the ease of something collected rather than purchased.
