Petaline Pillar Sculpture, Medium

Availability: 16 weeks

A hand-blown glass form rendered in frosted crystal, the Petaline Pillar Sculpture rises fifteen inches with the quiet authority of an object that has earned its place on a console or mantel through sheer presence alone. The frosted finish diffuses light in the manner of morning atmosphere — neither fully opaque nor transparent, but luminous in that suspended, considered way that distinguishes art glass from mere ornament. John Richard's craft is evident in the pillar's restrained silhouette, where the organic suggestion of petals is held within a composition of elegant vertical discipline.
