Orchid On The Rock

A composition of quiet botanical drama, Orchid On The Rock presents the orchid in its most contemplative state — neither arranged nor restrained, but suspended in the kind of effortless stillness that only the most considered works achieve. At fifteen inches tall and sixteen inches wide, the piece commands its setting with a presence that belies its intimate scale, equally at home anchoring a console or commanding a library shelf. This is the work of John Richard at its most assured: an object that reads as both found and entirely deliberate.
